Slow down

-
I have blogged about my recovery on my personal blog several times, but felt like posting a bit here. My new cast and return to 40 hour work weeks has caused my foot to swell. I have some tingling, stinging and numbness in a few toes too. When I go home at night I like to mod for an hour or two but lately I've been coming home and putting my feet up, elevating them as much as possible.

I remain frustrated by the disruption of my forward momentum.

Oh well. What can you do.

    I'm sorry to hear that. I hope the foot gets better soon.

    Completely understandable. Sounds like quite an uncomfortable experience to me, just concentrate on getting better :)

    Yeah, that's about all I can do is hurry up and wait! (laugh).

    With time I know it will improve. I really expected the silver lining on my recovery to be lots of modding time. I guess you don't always get what you wish for.

    Thanks for the posts guys.

    with any surgery you should push yourself too much to get back to full fitness/mobility (although I've been saying that and it's a year on since my surgery and i've got the growing beer-gut as a atestament to it... maybe time to start exercising again.... sometimes I think about getting those electrical muscle trainers and plugging myself in whilst I'm working on the toolset... ;) )

    Take it easy, and we'll see you back soon enough

    Thanks Liso and Wyrin. I'm getting there slowly but surely.

    Anyone got a cure moderate wounds?

    Now-days there's a lot of nifty USB-devices. Maybe you should get the USB morphine injector to get back to this very important task :)

Evil Stronghold

Some screenshots from todays work on Hythum. I've been putting this area together all week and it's nearly done. If I have been producing like this during my entire recovery I'd be sitting pretty. Oh well. I don't like some of the weeds in the middle of the road and need to clean them up but overall I am quite happy with what I have.

Hang it up?

-
Ever want to hang it up? I'm modding now and am likely to continue for an hour or so but in the same breath part of me wants to hang it up. Just a little burn out. It will pass. This is a good activity for me while my foot is healing. :-)
