What is the sound of one foot hopping?
George's 20th day using a walker.
Poor baby!
Tomorrow, maybe, pins protruding from 2 of the toes
on the "corrugated" foot will be removed and this
bandage that has been on since the inception of God
will be removed. Maybe the doc will even take the staples
or roofing nails or whatever they use these days out too.
Then I can perhaps begin the process of flattening out this
reconstructed mass into a serviceable weight-bearing unit
and begin visiting my wino and street-bum friends downtown again.
If I sound whiny, I would prefer that
you recontextualize it as impatience.
I know. I know. There are many a lot worse off.
But this is the life I am in charge of
and this is the one I want back on the road.
