So, a few days ago, I was thinking about Mexico. And I do desire to go back there some day, although the fall just calls to me more than Spring. I don’t know why. I’m not a logical person. Logical people don’t search the web for travel possibilities every time the work day gets rough….
Day one of physical therapy is behind me and I’m encouraged. My knee felt much better today. Physical therapy was interesting. After he evaluated it (and came up with the same thing doc #2 and the orthopedist said), he put a hot pack on it awhile. Then there was some ultrasound thing, followed by, I…
I had planned to go down and see some art at the Dogwood Festival this weekend as I have the past couple of years. However, the weather was just plain unappealing and I had no real desire to get out. Last week I started putting together a new website. I’ve only ever had a free…
My knee is 80% better today. I talked to the doctor today – she called – what kind of weird parallel universe am I in?? She said
So, I saw the doctor today. Not my regular doctor who is sick but another in his practice. I was telling my Mom last night (appointment was yesterday but rescheduled because doctor was out) that I was kind of glad that I was seeing another doctor.
Now there’s a blog title that will confuse a lot of people… Okay, if you realllly desire to, you can click for a far larger version. I uploaded the full size for this since I figured others on the trip might want, you know, a poster to remember us all by! At our last stop…
First for just an FYI, in case you haven’t noticed, I’m selling prints of some of my shots at Imagekind, a print on demand service. These are nice prints and you can get them professionally matted and framed by the same service. Feel free to spread the word. If there are shots you’ve seen here…
Saw the doctor today for my follow-up on the knee problem. And… Arthritis… or rather the beginnings of arthritis… possibly caused by some sort of injury to my knee earlier in life. I think I may remember it. I’m not the most graceful person on earth, so lord knows I could have banged my knees…
So, I saw the doctor today about the pain in my left knee. Nothing readily wrong with it. So, he prescribed an anti-inflammatory and sent me for x-rays. I go back a week from Thursday to review the x-rays and see how things are. If I’m lucky, I’ve just unwittingly pulled a muscle or tendon…
My life right now is all about solitude. My new job is working out of my home. And week one saw me
Now I think I’m officially back. My laptop was in for service for TWO weeks. Why does warranty work suck so bad? Surely it could be done faster? When I took it in, I was told a week to ten days. It had been nearly two full weeks before I even bothered them. Wednesday I…
Car back! Still without a decent computer, but at least I can cart my butt around again. Baby steps, people, baby steps… Without my laptop, I haven’t really looked at these in detail, but just skimming them gave me the sensation I was about to hop back on that bus in the morning. Getting ahead…
Okay, to put things in perspective, it’s not the end of the world, not remotely, but I’m hoping that beginning the year with a weather-canceled street party is not indicative of where 2007 is going. Summing up my return to the U.S. of A. Nearly missed a tight connecting flight from Newark to Atlanta. Barely…
Last day in Edinburgh. Tomorrow morning, I fly out at 9am… per Edinburgh Airport, that means I should be there at 6am… ouch… So, today needs to have an early conclusion so I can be done packing and all that fun stuff. I left with a 32 pound backpack, and I don’t think I’ve added…
I’ve one more full day in Scotland to report on and am days behind in updating my blog. What a combo… Ullapool to Fort Augustus More beautiful scenery and history. That was true every day of the trip to the point that it becomes hard to really describe it. Among other places, we stopped in…
Yesterday was an entire day just on the Isle of Skye. The weather was decent, not perfect but good. Some occasional mist but really there was some sun, and it is Scotland in winter, so will not complain. Since we were spending another night on Skye in Kyleakin (think I spelled that right), the morning…
Edinburgh to Oban Yesterday morning was up “bright” and early to make my way to the Haggis Adventures office on High Street. Was so paranoid about oversleeping that I did not sleep well and ended up being first there. It was only by a short time, though, literally less than a minute. By 8:30am, we…
Some of you may have seen on the news that Edinburgh’s street party was cancelled last night. All told since I’d been before, this wasn’t crushing news for me. It was still a unique event in my life. After dinner (chicken sandwich at a place called “Wannaburger” or something like that – probably a chain…
