STAPLES REMOVED from leg

I met with Lippy today and they removed the staples from my skin graft. I dont go back to the wound care for a month.  I will be doing my own bandages, daily on the boat, till 9/26th.  I'm hoping on the 26th he will pronounce me well and allow me to ride my bike again.  till then i will be doing some walking on this new 'tender' leg.

It feels great to have the staples removed.  I'm taking it easy today, with some very minor discomfort. I plan to start my 'old man walks' starting in the morning.  Maybe get a cup of coffee and walk up and down the dock...  see how that feels.  It's great to have my leg back.  To be inside with AC and NOT in kemah Texas with all that rain.  My heart goes out to all my drowning dock RAT friends there.  

I hope your legs are both in great shape!       - Peg Leg Pirate Skip
