32 Became 12...

...became 8, became 4...

...become Super Bowl participants.  The Packers play the Bears tomorrow afternoon for the right to go to Super Bowl XLV.  I will be a little keyed up all day and either ecstatic or crushed by Sunday evening.
Go Pack Go!

Brent Favre - What Should I Do?

I vote for the 'just go away' option.  At least for a while.  Please?

100 Degrees Of Knee

Just got home from PT.  Only gained a few degrees again.  I'm in a crappy mood.  I know you may tire of hearing about my rehab and doctor appointments but that is what I got right now.  I can't do the things I want and when I can my wife has a list for me as long as my arm.  That's enough for now.  I need an attitude adjustment in liquid form right now, and I don't care how I feel in the morning.  Ta.

Hmm, the video became restricted.  I guess you'll have to take my word for it and see it here.

Snowy Happy Monday

The drive home from work today took almost twice as long as normal due to the snow that continues to fall.  I heard 3 to 5 inches but that's what it looked like when I got home and it is still expected to continue snowing overnight.  My wife also arrived home safe but once again toils outside shovelling our walks and driveway.  She's been real good about it, though.  I tried shovelling on Saturday, that was much less and the real light fluffy stuff.  I managed to clear the front walk, the stoop and the sidewalk, using the shovel as my cane.  Eventually I had to go in and sit down because, while I am getting better with my right leg, my left leg is still holding up most of my weight and can do so only so long at a time.  Kate finished it for me in short order.

I feel bad that my wife has had to do so much that I used to do for us, but for a while now I've been able to do more and more and I'm sure I'll be able to return to full duties soon.  I would take a pic of the snow but it is already dark out.  Enough rambling, I should just grab my favorite sweater, sit in my rocker and shake my cane at the TV.  You damn kids!

You Need To Get Off Facebook

A bit longer than the non-music videos I usually post, but of course I don't post anything not worth watching...  Enjoy!  You might even get convinced to ditch facebook, if you're one of them!!

Tuesday's X-Ray Follies

There's a funny story about those leg x-rays earlier this week.  Luckily, I was the first appointment of the day.  When they were ready for me they suggested I change into shorts but, just like last time, I convinced them to just let me pull my pants down around my ankles for the x-rays.  I told her how it is a big pain yet to get a shoe on my right foot and besides, I was wearing clean drawers and was not shy.

So I get all set on the x-ray table and she goes to turn on the machine. Now, you know how it shines a light with the crosshairs where they intend to take the picture?  The light bulb was burnt out.  I spent over a half hour laying on that table while they would take a picture, check it to see how it looked, then move the machine accordingly and try again.  All while stopping to make and get calls to see about fixing the bulb.  So most of the pics were not exactly centered well, but with all the pics they took they got everything covered.

Later in the exam room, the doctor finally came in and apologized for all the trouble.  A major backup was happening in the x-ray department (again, I'm glad I was first!).  They even had trouble with the computer program to view the x-rays so some of the pics he couldn't make screen size, like the one on the right in the earlier post.  I did notice, however, that half the pics showed my package plain as day.  Really, I don't think she had to take that many x-rays that high on my leg under any circumstances.  Maybe she liked it?  Hahaha.

Corn Nuts Radio Ad

Absolutely hilarious! Kind of like the Johnson commercial.

Leg X-rays

I know I've described it pretty accurately, but pictures speak louder than words.  Here is the leg I broke on August 27 as of this morning, over 4 months later.  These pics are taken with our new camera of the x-rays as shown on a computer screen at the doctor's office.  Click the pic for the large version.

It's that time again!  Another regurgitaton of what I found interesting for one reason or another in my recent internet travels.  Discretion advised after the break. Enjoy!

The Packers play the Eagles in a playoff game later today...  GO PACK GO !!!
