It has been a considerable time since the last update . Since then Carol has continued to move on with her life. Each event has been slightly harder than anticipated, took longer than expected, and generally took more out of her than she probably expected. That being said, she has made tremendous progress...

I swear Scott and the rest of the group at Telligent really need to stop posting about open positions
Yesterday we had the 1st follow-up with Dr. Ertl. Carol and I were both very surprised at how well the

Carol had a good day yesterday. We just sat around and watched the football games and generally tried
In our family I'm the designated "math" person. It isn't because I'm necessarily all that great at math. Oh, I've taken my share of calculus, but I always struggled with math. So one of the things I decided once I had children was to make sure they had a good appreciation for numbers without resorting...
Over the last few weeks the number of rather large holes in my yard has grown. I've suspected that I have a critter living in the woods outback that is causing the problem. A few days ago I noticed a bunch of new dirt that was tossed out from underneath some stairs. A day or so later I saw him. His name...
This weekend I bought a Reel Mower otherwise known as a manual push mower. My lawn had not been mowed since last year and the previous owners failed to leave there lawn mower as promised. Home Depot had a couple of styles. I chose the Scott's Elite 16" which got better consumer ratings for the...
Today, on the way home from work, the driver's side front tire on my car fell off. I was only going about 10mph and knew something was seriously wrong, but I made a poor decision in not having Carol come get me. I would have made it home, but got lost and drove past the house and into Wilton. The...
Our last update was week 12 here . Since then the wound has fully closed and the stump has shrunk considerably. She went for her prosthetic two weeks ago and after a couple of hours of trying to walk and get the device to fit properly they decided that it was about a 1/2 a centimeter too tall. She went...
I skipped week 11 since there really wasn't much to write about. Carol has continued to make good progress. She started back to work last week and survived. The wound continues to close and heal at its own pace. She went in yesterday to get the initial measurements for a prosthetic. Assuming no new...
Tor is launching a new web site and as part of the promotion they are giving away free e-books. I collected my first free book today: Farthing by Jo Walton. Since I have two or three other books already queued up, it may be a while till I get to this one, but you can never have too many books around...
It's been 10 weeks since Carol had her left foot amputated. I must say that we expected to be a lot further along than we are today. That being said, the last week has seen a lot of improvement. Carol went to see Dr. Ertl on Wednesday and as of that morning the left side of the wound had closed up...
This week we've reached the point where the wound looks as if it will really close. There is enough distinctive progress that from day to day we can see change. We've been a long time getting here. Carol is getting out and about a lot more than she has in previous weeks and she is becoming less...
