38,000 Service

This is just a euphemism for my medical examination by Dr. Morgan, on Day 38 following my surgery. After waiting for more than one hour, my surgeon finally showed up. His first reaction was to look for my crutches… that weren’t there! He said that I was doing just fine, in fact better than most and said that after another two weeks I’d be out of the “boot” and can start physical therapy.

He also gave me a protocol to measure the exercises that I would undergo at that time and use it as a benchmark towards my actual progress. Last, but not least, he also told me to remove some of the huge wedges off my boot so I could walk on a more even keel.
