Before I headed back to Akron last Sunday, we went back over to my sister’s house. Since I was the only one not already occupied, I got to watch my nieces. Naturally, we played video games. On the Xbox Kinect – which is quite a bit of exercise.<\/p>\n
We played an animal game, an adventure game, and the crowd favorite – Dora Dance Party. I think I surprised them both – Uncle has some moves.:) \u00a0We had a lot of fun with that before I had to leave – and since I got three gold stars I’m pretty sure I’m ready to go clubbing.<\/p>\n
Hola, baby.<\/p>\n
——————–<\/p>\n
On the trip back to Akron, I was flipping through the menus on my car’s dashboard to see when my next oil change it due.<\/p>\n
It’s a really boring car trip, okay?<\/p>\n
Except, I couldn’t find the “remaining oil life” gauge. Or the “estimated MPG”. Or the “estimated range” Or, most disturbingly, the odometer.<\/p>\n
It’s just gone. The main one as well as the trip odometer. The speedometer works and so does the fuel gauge – but I have no idea how many miles are on my car.<\/p>\n
I called to get an appointment to get my car checked out and they can’t get me in until next Tuesday. So, I guess it’s not super urgent. And I’m guessing that it really still being stored somewhere and it’s just not visible. Otherwise I guess we have to estimate it? I dunno.<\/p>\n

I went to see my surgeon on Monday for a follow up. We talked for a bit and he checked my arm – and determined that I was done with physical therapy. I still need to use the “rack” for a couple months, then I’ll stop that and see if the pain I get at full extension goes away.<\/p>\n
So, in a very anti-climactic way, I’m done-ish.<\/p>\n
Since this was between appointments for physical therapy, I didn’t really get a chance to say good-bye to my therapist. Odd that it would bother me, maybe, but I’d gotten to know her a bit over the course of the months and didn’t want to just vanish. So, I got her a card and made her some tiny origami cranes and dropped them off after work today. She was happy to see me and I thanked her for the help she’d given me with my arm. We had a nice good-bye and I was on my way.<\/p>\n
In a couple of months, I’ll send the rack back to the company and see how it goes. I’m still not quite there – and I won’t get back to full extension – but I’m functional and looking forward to moving it fully without pain.
