I’ve just been told that I’ll be going back to the main hospital at 4:45 in the morning for my third surgery, this time to continue repairing the multiple fractures in my left shin (there were simply too many breaks and too much soft tissue damage to do it all at once).  As far as I know, the external fixator on my left leg will be taken off (if you have a moment, this video explains in excellent detail what the fixator is, why it is used, and, roughly, how mine will be removed).

Following the surgery, I’ll spend a couple of nights in the hospital, and then return to Stallworth for a few more days of therapy.  And then, if all goes according to plan, the show shall go on!  We haven’t set a date yet, but it’s a matter of mere weeks.  I look forward to chatting again!

First things first, though.  I can’t eat or drink after midnight tonight.  So I’ll be snoozing in a bit—but not before throwing in my two cents worth on a couple of stories that caught my eye between physical and occupational therapy sessions today.  I think it’s safe to say, among other things, that this is evolving into one of the most animated, entertaining, and important presidential races in recent memory.  I’ll elaborate here shortly…
