I am 'almost' back to normal on the boat.
i put up the Bimini yesterday. (the canvas cover over the cockpit, steering wheel area.) i have not gotten up the clear plastic windows yet. The 'windows' got moisture inside them. (the material is actually two separate sheets of heavy plastic compressed together under extreme pressure.) When i took them down for the hurricane evacuation it had rained and they were wet. (i took them down so the 200 mph winds wouldn't rip them down) Then i put them into a storage unit where the moisture 'seeped' in between the sheets. (like fog inside your window in the car) So i am 'running the defogger' on them for a couple of days till the moisture is sucked out. they are already much better after a day. Maybe i can put them up this afternoon?
The leg is doing great. I have my one month meeting with the plastic surgeon tomorrow. I hope he gives me a good word. ?? I am hoping i can ride my bike again.
i have been going to a gym for exercise. i am happy to report that the soreness is less pronounced. i'm going back there this morning....
Yesterday i went to the Baptist Church over the bridge. i had already tried two churches on this side of town and was not thrilled with them. It was a friendly church. Eleven people came up and asked me if i was a visitor and to 'welcome me.' Perhaps my height tipped them off? (they MIGHT have recognized me as a visitor because i was the ONLY person there in shorts?)
I am eating healthy and still working on growing skin. I'm reading lots of books and GETTING MEDICAL BILLS. i spent a few hours friday on the phone with blue cross blue shield and with my check book. The billing and numbers are all consuming! *I'll do a breakdown and copy later to the blog. This aint Obama Care!
We had a pizza party movie night at the marina last night. it was fun to see a few new neighbors. this is the 3rd of these since i moved here. my first time to have legs and attend. (both the pizza and the movie sucked) Not much else to report. It's time now, after breakfast & coffee, to get up and go to the gym for my workout.
Have a great week. - Peg leg pirate Skip
