What a great trip to NYC, my wife and I had a good time despite the crutches.  It was a very tiring trip as NYC is a walking city, so I walked were I could, and we took a taxi were I couldn’t.  First I have a great admiration for those who live there, they were very gracious and helpful when they saw me hobbling about in a cast and crutches.  99.9% of the time people went out of their way to open doors, help me navigate lines and lineups.  Kudo’s for the manager at Tad’s Steakhouse across from Macy’s at Herald square.  He sat me down, help my wife carry the food, and treated me like a king.  If you get to Macy’s please go eat at Tad’s the food is good, and they deserve a round of applause not just for me, but all the customers.  I would eat there in a second.

Next up the staff at the Empire State building, a good bunch, that made sure I got where I needed to go, as well as the staff at Caroline’s comedy club on Broadway as well as the theater on 49th street where we saw Chicago.  Again helpful staff, making sure I was comfortable, and was able to get to my seats.  All and all, the people of Manhattan deserve praise for the kindness they showed this tourist on our trip to NYC.

Tomorrow I get my Air Cast, thank goodness, I told my wife one way or another this cast was coming off tomorrow even if I had to take it off myself. LOL.  I was hobbling around backstage trying to make myself useful during our My Fair Lady Production.  With the air cast life will be much easier back stage for not only me but the marvelous actors who are onstage.

Friday if all is well, I will hit the pool for some water jogging and swimming and in three weeks physio will start.  I am going to a private clinic rather then use the one at the hospital.  The Women who does the physio is quite familiar with the injury and has worked with sports team and professional athletes.  She cost a bit more, but i think it will be worth it to get a more specialized sports physio rather then just the hospital staff.

Anyway off to bed.

Cheers
