Workin' the week away

There's not a whole lot to tell about the last couple days. I've been splitting my time working between two shops in Portland. It's been a couple week since I've had anything to do during the day other then just putz around and it feels kinda good to actually be doing something (and earning money for a change instead of spending it). Still, I'm glad tomorrow is friday and I'm looking forward to seeing some more of Portland this weekend. I haven't taken very many pictures of Portland but I hope the mood strikes and that I'll change that this weekend.

My knee is S-L-O-W-L-Y improving but it's still very swollen, stiff, and sore. My right leg is taking much of the brunt since it now has to do all the lifting and it supports all my weight when I'm just standing. It's getting pretty sore from the odd gate that I've developed. I have an appointment to see a joint specialist in Bellevue Washington that came highly recommended by someone I know from the area. I'm anticipating that they'll find some torn ligaments and that it will require surgery to fix it. I just hope that if that's the case that the knee will mend enough on its own this summer to allow me to do most everything I want and that I can have surgery during the winter. Who knows, maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised and I won't need any surgery; that would make me very happy.

More stories and pictures to come in the next day or two....I promise!
