Back to Work -- Sort Of

[billroper]

The fellow brought the CPM machine out to the house this morning. This device will move my leg through a predetermined range to help restore the original range of motion. He also fixed up the fit on my current knee brace, although we also talked to the doc and determined that I didn't have to wear it unless I were to do something strenuous, like leave the house. The custom brace will have to wait until the Substantial swelling goes down.

I'm supposed to do four to six hours on the machine each day. I made it to four hours and ten minutes today before the chunk, chunk of the machine pushed the bed away from the headboard and left my pillow embedded in the crack. Oops! Naturally, this happened while daisy_knotwise was out shopping...

I did call into work, answer e-mails, diff some new source (which I had to call and complain about), and sat through the group's weekly scheduling conference call. This wasn't too bad.

But -- as predicted -- I'm really tired. And now Sam is back to install the banisters.

And I'm going to take a nap. Drill or no drill.

(Think that there's a game show in that?)

You know I read that as "brought the CP/M machine", right?

Me too and I'm not even a computer geek!

You're not the only one! I have a small stack of them in my garage.

If it asks, "Would you like to play a game?" then I'd suggest you agree to a nice game of chess.

Wow, I have no image of that machine whatsoever. But it sounds very odd! Good luck with it all - I'm thinking of you. *gentle hug*

Enough C/PM gags have been made already...

And this reminds me of the comedy routine I used to do bout the Sgt. in the Outer Space Marines, part of which actually got worked into the song..

Drill calls to alien troops...

"Left, Center, Right.. no, that won't do... EVENS, ODDS!.. no, no.. HOP, SKIP, JUMP... dammit... I just KNEW I should have joined the Space Navy!"

Heal quickly and well, my friend!

Speaking of diffing source... if you haven't encountered a tool called "Beyond Compare" - you are seriously missing out.
Absolutely amazing tool for side by side compares of just about anything, text, code, directory structures, filesystems.... you name it.

Use it just about daily and it's unreal how helpful it is.

Check it out!

And very glad to hear the recovery is well underway. :-)
