Went to see my surgeon on a routine follow up appointment this morning. So, as of Friday, I will be officially released from nurse's care and no longer "homebound" and I will be returning to work on a limited basis 2 weeks from today. I'll still have a lifting restriction of 20 lbs until mid-September and 50 lbs until the end of the year, but other than that things will be relatively back to normal. Also dropped another 5 lbs, making it 46 lbs since I had surgery, the goal being another 29 (down to an even 300) by the end of the year. So we are pretty much at the end of the recovery road, but we have to make sure the lessons learned and changed behaviors become new habits and stay in place for the long haul.

Soon you'll be a lean mean comic reading machine.

Huzzah, mrp! I needn't tell you this, since you know this better than anyone, but try and take it easy on yourself. I have a co-worker who returned to work today after having suffered a severe back injury, and he's taking baby steps. Best of luck on the road to full recovery!

I was in the US where it was warm and sunny. Now I'm back in Australia where it's cold and bleah.
I took one of my mountain bikes to the shop yesterday to be fixed. One of the pedals came loose and stripped the thread in the crank arm. Luckily they can drill it out and put in a thread insert.
I put a shorter stem on my other mountain bike, because I was having back issues that I'm pretty sure were caused by being too bent over on the bike. I want to go and try it out, but it's about to rain. I don't like riding in the rain.
I also don't like being so far away from my sweetie (the reason I was in the US to begin with). We're working on that, but it's going to take a while.
In the meantime, I have a large stack of unread tpbs and HCs to get through, as well as Marvel Unlimited on my tablet, and even some actual books without pictures, both in print and on Kindle. Plus there's always Netflix.
So naturally, I'm messing around on the Internet instead of doing any of that.

It's funny that I do some of the same things. 100's of comics to read but spend hours on the net doing nothing. Right now I'm on vacation and I have read about 40 digital books from MU

I'm currently going through the backlog of vendor profile updates that have accumulated in the queue of a coworker who retired last December when I came across the following company that I've never used before but may be my new favorite:
Advanced Industrial Machining
And yes, they refer to themselves as AIM.

Do they maybe make wastepaper baskets?

Cmon, AIM are good guys these days. But they still wear the funky bee catchers hats.
