After two weeks of great care at Peconic Bay Medical Center's Orthopedic Rehab Center I arrived home a few days ago . I'm still a bit groggy so I haven't felt like writing .
I'm on a cane and will be for about a month .If I get the necessary approvals I'll be back in time for the Bass/Blue run across the street .If PT goes well I'll be able to carry things and I plan to get back to working on the Globetrotter .
From what they said at the hospital it will be a few months before I can go back to work .
The big danger until I get the health approvals is dislocation . I feel like I should be walking around with my framing square making sure I don't brake 90 degrees at the hip
Frank asked me about the drugs . Well the Rolling Stones and Townes van Zandt both wrote songs extolling the benefits of Morphine .Well they can keep it .After two days I asked to be taken off it .I was hallucinating and that has never been one of my favorite pastimes!! A shot and a beer yes ,hallucinogens no .
Physical therapy starts tomorrow at 9:30 and that will be 3X/week .So the soap opera will continue for at least a few more weeks
Any one need some tomatoes ?

So glad to hear you are back... I was going to ask you if you need tomatoes. I put up 15 quarts of sauce yesterday. I bet that cane gives you an air of dignity.
I don't know about dignity but alot of people open doors for me.lol
Hi Tom & Pat. So sorry to hear about the hip thing but from what I've heard everyone wishes they'd "done it sooner" Hope you'll be back up and running a.s.a.p. I really missed seeing you two at the Smith's 40th as I know everyone else did.
Enjoy those tomatoes. One can never go wrong. I blender-chop them and put them in ziplocs. Freeze them raw...I don't even bother to cook....then use them whenever...
Hope to see you perhaps at the soup party on 10/18 at the Smith's...Surprise them! As ever, Love Sandie Smith
Thanks Sandy . We sure missed everyone at the big 40
Hi, My name is Carol, I scoped your blog from Franks( that guy sure does get around). I want to wish you well on the hip...and your airstream restore...mine is killing me. I did get a bit of inspriation from your "15 minutes" of airstream, I tend to put it off because the task seems so huge...15 minutes at a time seems like much more of a goal than an overwhelming defeat. I didn't realize it at the time but I loved 2 of my high school science teachers(earth and biology). you might not know it but there are students out there that think about what you did for them on a daily basis. My dad is a Charter boat captain on the Chesapeake bay, I am soo proud..just wanted to thow that in there...sorry this was so long winded!
Carol
