The MicroHAMS Digital Conference (#mhdc) has started! No huge issues so far and KK7DS’s talk is cool.
Tomorrow is the #MHDC in Redmond, a full day of geeky computer and ham radio fun.
Right now everything is basically done and on track. So I'm wondering what horrible curve ball is going to be served up….. :-)

Its been three weeks since the surgery. Last week I started real weight bearing exercises, so balancing for short periods of time on just my left leg and what I call baby squats (squats where you only bend about 20-30 degrees). Yesterday I got several more strength exercises added.(Yea! – stairs work)
A couple of big changes, I'm using the cane less now and will often take off to-do something and forget it. Yesterday I walked into the PT without it and didn't realize it until I was half way into the building. I also walked to lunch without it. By the end of the day, I realized I hadn't use it at all. I was the typical sore when I got home, but not any worst then normal.
I still don't quite have the full range of motion back, but I think that is more due to the swelling. It is very close now and more importantly I can bend it there without help of a towel. Last night I was finishing my stretching and noticed my calf and thigh touching a little bit.
Right now I say the swelling is my biggest problem. I actually have days where my entire lower leg swells up, which is really annoying. I think there has only been one 'bad day' so far, meaning that it felt worst then the day before. On Monday, I woke up and my whole leg was really sore and swollen. I couldn't finish my morning stretches because it hurt to much. I ended up using the cane the entire day and did zero PT when I got home. I iced it for nearly three hours before finally going to bed. The strange thing is that when I woke up Tuesday, it felt great.
So far, I've hit all my personal goals. I really wanted to be walking normally by the end of the third week and I wanted to have some of my balance back. By the end of the fourth week, I hope the stairs are no longer a big issue.

@joshuadw Yep!
@joshuadw I so with you on the clock adjustments. Those that don’t adjust automatically will be right again eventually….
