So I’m at week seven, and have been off work the entire time. I’m a police officer and can’t even work light duty yet because I’m in the right foot ATR club and can’t drive to work. My doctor thinks I can drive the distance at about week 12, so I still have 5 weeks to go.
So, I got to thinking how I could use this time a little bit better than just sitting around in the living room. Checked the net, and realized there were some really sweet deals on cruises. Found a six day cruise leaving next Monday from San Diego to Cabo and Ensenada, and the price was very reasonable (Maybe the economy is keeping people home, I guess). So I booked it, in honor of my upcoming 10 year wedding anniversary. Was just planning on a nice dinner out, pre-ATR. So my beautiful wife and I will be able to take a real trip without the kids for the first time in years! Wouldn’t have taken this trip, if no ATR.
I’m a little leery of all the walking I might want to do, but my wife and I agreed I just need to waddle up to the deck, find a good chaise lounge and be ready to drink a few beers while watching the water. I might not even leave the boat in port. Maybe just to the taxi stand for a ride to a nice cantina, I don’t know.
So, I guess I’m making a pitcher of lemonade with this lemon life threw at me. Maybe, I’ll add a little Tequila to it south of the border.
Wishing all of you good healing,
Steve
Steve,
It sounds like an awesome trip you have planned…..and you have a great attitude!!! I bet your wife is thrilled to be able to enjoy your special anniversary even though you have to go through this ATR journey. Looking on the bright side— good for YOU!!!
Loved the Cal game and felt the “shock and awe” of that hit to Carpenter by “the man” Follet. Go Bears!!
Thanks for the encouraging words about my scar tissue issue (hey that rhymes :))I definitely appreciate your support in reminding me this is all temporary.
Have a wonderful anniversary trip and take pics to post
ENJOY!!!!!!
