Sorry folks - No post today for Ebin & May. While I have started on the next page, my back is in no shape to finish it in time. While it is getting better, it's doing so at a snails pace. Such is life. I do have another appointment with Dr.Rob about it on Wednesday and I'll do my best to keep you all informed on it with the aims of getting back onto shoulder once again.

Thank you for your understanding. Your all the best! ^.^

About a bit over month ago, a new 24hour Fitness opened up practically next door to me. Having a little extra money on me that I've been scrimping and saving for a while, I decided that I would make an investment in myself and walked in opening day and got a year membership, cash on the barrel-head.

I also got a 3 personal trainer sessions so we could sit down and figure out a exercise routine for me. One of the things we talked about was what my goal was. Frankly, I could care less about loosing weight. If I do scrub off some extra poundage, I'll be happy because it'll be like finding a neat toy at the bottom of the Crackerjack box. For me, my real goal is to get some of the strength and stamina back that I've lost over the years of being bedridden. I want to be healthy. That's not the same thing as being thin.

First month and I was already noticing an improvement. By the time Wondercon hit, I had energy. I was floor pounding that convention hall like nobodie's business, at least until I hit the pothole in the street on the way to Moscone. The year before, I could barely make it from the train station to the exhibit hall before I completely collapsed. So, yeah, big improvement.

So today, because my ankle felt strong enough for me to drive the 1 block over, I hobbled my way into the club to explain my current, non-good condition with the piece of paper from the emergency room explain the injuries I have. They took one look at me and helped me put a suspension on my membership until I could heal up. Go go, customer service.

I know there's a lot of dissing of 24hour Fitness, but so far, I have not encountered anything but nice competent service.

Lets see if it holds.

Thank you all for the well wishes. They mean a lot.

Ankle doing better. Hopefully will be out of the air-cast by next week. I go see a bone specialist on Wed. for my right arm/elbow. know more then.

Have discovered I can do posting one-handed via Baron's iThing. So, I created a twitter account to help plug my stuff @smudge_dragon. No clue if it will work for me, but I figure I won't know unless I try.
