Since I'm not released fully medically yet, but I'm feeling pretty good so I organized & deep cleaned my shop some, it's a nice feeling sitting in a clean shop designing patterns for now. Even can sit in my recliner & watch tv as the Cavid-19 pandemic continues. I hope everyone is doing well. God Bless.

After another check up at University of Iowa Hospital yesterday, 3 month mark, my X-rays looked awesome, & after a couple of physical tests by doctor(Standing on 1 leg for balance & squats) she said I could go to 8hr days with restrictions(been working 4hr days (sitting only, computer work) the last 2 weeks.....now will be 4hrs sitting & 4hrs standing or what I can tolerate. Thank you again for all the thoughts and prayers, It's greatly appreciated.

Going back to University Iowa Hospitals tomorrow for third check up since I got out of hospital DEC 7th......hope everything is still in alignment......been working 4hrs/day sitting only & I don't have any problems with that.........still have numbness in my thigh though (like 1/2 numb most of the time, that's got me concerned after 3mo, still no improvement on that).....but I hope I get some "standing" in my work hours.....I thank you all for the thoughts and prayers along the way so far.....& hope i can make some saw dust soon. God Bless Smitty

Wednesday can’t get here soon enough, I have my first follow-up doctor visit at University Iowa City Hospital since my accident on Dec. 4......still supposed to be non-weight bearing yet....but damn I wanna walk....simple weight on leg is giving me hope, no pain in my pelvic area, but the pain is in my leg where it was pinned, PT I hope will help that....I hope I can ditch the walker after Wednesday......thanks for all the thoughts & prayers

Merry Christmas to my huge family here & beyond!! I hope to update everyone on my health when I have some good news, otherwise I’m stuck to my recliner with my walker to get around for now......
