I'm doing 14 things
The difference is that discomfort can be handled and lived with.
Even ignored.
Pain,that is a whole different matter.
the kind of pain that makes me howl,wither and curse.
the kind of pain that sends light flashing to the brain.
the kind of pain that makes a persons body shake,shudder.
this knee thing is worth it in the fact that after all this crappy rehab at home,the PT at the office,I will not have to walk on bone fragments ever again.
I’ve birth a child and this PAIN is nothing like that, it is nothing like I have ever know in my full adult life.
send up a prayer,send up good Karma. The pain tabs are not helping and I need to get this thing working!

How I did it
It made me
Pleased 
How I did it: A year or more of thoughtful consideration.Many failed drawings and Ideas. It was something that I felt compelled to do.4 hours on the table for the clean clear outline,6 weeks to completely heal and then 3.5 hours for the color. This is not something to take lightly, It will forever alter the way family friends and strangers view you. Be prepared for comments both hurtful ( Jerk wads quote the verse in Levitic… Read how I did it…

I go have the 32 staples out tomorrow.
PT is a trial. I’m not getting to the 90’Flex they want.I can lift walk etc… but that damn bending is a shriek of pain just with the thought of it.
I have not walked correctly for so long that my muscle bundles are being retrained. It’s going to take all the time off I have to get to where I need to be.
and was a I just not listening but I don’t remember being told that I hve to be hooked to a continual passive motion machine 2 times a day.
or a compression sleeve that is like a mini airconditioner kept at 45’F. or get shots in the belly for a week!
Oh well what ever it takes that is the view I’m keeping.
Squeeze and count ten !
It’s all over and this fat lady is singing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is going to be 16 inches of scar,It’s going to have a Diode zigzag. this must be covered up!
Item 1. allstar hightop with grommets and pink laces
Item 2. Cyborg/Bionical down the length
I would much rather look at personal Art then the scar.
I have some time to think. It’s wont be done until then end of June when I get cleared by DrM.
