From Wednesday last week, I've been putting a little weight on the right foot and doing an assisted step using the crutches. The idea is to get the foot ready for more weight and increase range of motion. I can't feel any pain where the surgery was performed and the plate/pin/screws added. My knee ends up hurting quite a bit though and I've had to ice it pretty regularly. I'm am making good progress though, each day - one step at a time.

I was back at work all week even though I'd planned to work at home Friday. The recession is taking it's toll on all businesses and ours is not immune. It was a sad day on Thursday when 3 people I worked with were laid off. No one expects it and I've never had to go through it before. Certainly makes you grateful to have a job in these times.

Due to the lay-offs, I ended up being at work all week and the knee was swollen like a balloon on Friday night. I'm planning on working from home 2 days this week if I can manage the in person meetings around it. I'm trying hard to be walking for the wedding. Oh and the suit arrived from "Like a Rock Star" - it's great. I'll need the jacket taken in a little as I've lost some of my love handles but its really quite special. Just two weeks to the wedding now and Amy and I are very excited. Happy Australia Day.
