Update

[filkertom]

My leg brace is officially off.

I am allowed to flex my left leg as much as I comfortably can.

And I am allowed 50% weight-bearing.

Still a few more weeks and some very specific PT to handle basic functions, but... the true beginning of the beginning.

Tomorrow will be very interesting.

You?

Congratulations, Tom! The world looks forward to having you back. It's gotten far too mainstream in your absence.

Congratulations, Tom! *hugs* Keep being careful though, please. I think you're kicking butt!

Tomorrow, I leave for Allentown, PA - the DCI Eastern Classic :)

Take it easy on that leg of yours - the worst re-injuries are always the ones you commit when you think you're well again.

We've missed you :)

Kickass!!! Congrats!!!

[fair-witness.livejournal.com]

Huzzah!

[hsifyppah.livejournal.com]

Woohoo, hell yes!

Learn from my mistake: do not do a vigourous dance of joy about getting your brace off. That set me back at least a week.

(But actually it was kind of worth it. No brace? THE DANCE OF JOY CANNOT BE DENIED!)

Mysterium rocked in about a bajillion ways. No I get to start planning for minor surgery, followed by Austin Game Designers Conference

Awesome!

You?

Last day of work tomorrow. As you say...the beginning of the beginning, and things are going to get interesting.

Woot! Get on with your bad self, Tom...it'll be great having you back.

Me? Kicking ass and taking names at my bass guitar lessons and heading to the Dublin Irish Festival...that would be Dublin, OH. :-)

Yay! Don't overdo it, but yay!

Work work and more work. At least tonight I'm stuffed full of yummy German food.

YEA! Glad to hear the recovery is going well.

2 more days of work before 2 weeks off (Worldcon next week.)

Congrats Tom! Good to see you without the metalwork!

(I mean what good was it really? It didn't even give you Steampunk Cyborg powers! ;-)

Myself...I have to remove a 3.5mm object through a small hole in my body this week so I'll second your OWOWOW tag...

I came back from NC with some horrific con crud. Fortunately, I have the next few weeks off from my day job.

Love and huggles to you.

*pavlovs* "Define interesting."

Well, I'm still very nervous about doing anything dumb with my leg, and I don't want to try anything without spotting. Fortunately, that shouldn't be that much of a problem. But I want to do this right, i.e., without the yelling and screaming and holding my leg again.

Hearty congratulations!

I'm almost walking now. Well, I am walking, with a limp. And only a few weeks ago I was where you are now - that 50% weight-bearing stage. It's onwards and upwards from there.

Congrats Tom!!!

[solarbird]

Yay!

Here, have cheerleading!

[technoshaman.livejournal.com]

To filk an old GaTech cheer:

It's GREAT! to BE! withOUT A BRACE!

(I would definitely keep *something* handy for the next little while... but here's to getting back in the swing of things!)

Congratulations yon your achivement!

[hearth-spirit.livejournal.com]

Minor happy note - Just had a coworker ask me about DeBasement Tapes. Was glad to be able to point him to your website and the download/buy link.

Re: Congratulations yon your achivement!

[hearth-spirit.livejournal.com]

And if I didn't post quite so late at night, I might have even been able to spell "Achievement" correctly...

[foenix.livejournal.com]

That is great news.

I can only imagine how good it felt just to flex that leg.

[valarltd.livejournal.com]

Yay! Keep up the good work! Take it slow, and yes, keep it in the No Yelling and Screaming range of PT.

Me?
Tomorrow I get to see my doc and see if I'm fit to keep driving a truck or if my multiple problems have caught up. On the plus-side, I submitted two novels and a short story for publication.

[braider.livejournal.com]

Yeay, Tom!

Me? Very stressy. On the other hand, am realizing it is a LUXURY to be stressing over the things I'm stressing over. (Dublin upcoming, many things surrounding that, oh, and work is taking up time that I could be using to practice - oh, wait, work is that thing that *actually* pays the bills....)

*hug* Glad you're getting back.

[druidsfire.livejournal.com]

Awesomesauce!

Just keep at it, be careful, all the useful advice everyone's flinging at you, and we'll see you when we see you!

[ladymondegreen.livejournal.com]

Hooray!

Tomorrow marapfhile goes off to live in Singapore, thereby doubling the filk population.

Yay for progress! Me, I am picking up bicycling again, slowly. My butt hurts. (Yes, from the bicycling.)
