    @7lenny7 Glad to hear, and see you and kody are doing well. I loved Norsemen and Ozark.

    Dh watched some of Norsemen with me (he started it, I liked it) then he decided it was too stupid, although I did catch him watching it and asking catch up questions. I didn't like how season 2 ended.

    Crutches do suck. Last two surgeries I had was partial weight, and I think that's worse because you can kind of gimp around without them and really tax yourself. I kept one of those thin bags from races with me to carry stuff. Coffee in a thermos, books, phone, charger ect...

    It's nice that you can go to work on crutches. Sort of. I did enjoy being home with no where to go.

    Will you need pt?

    I've heard good things about the knee scooter.

    @contrarymarymary the next time you have a race in the rain bring along a big garbage bag, make a hole for your head and wear it like a poncho. Then just toss the bag just before the race. I've also saved old, long sleeve shirts to wear pre race and ditch those as well. Some bigger races will collect and donate the clothes.

    @noblsheep that is one of the coolest medals ever! I loved your race report!

    @Elise4270 I hated how Norsemen season 2 ended! It is full of silly humor but I enjoy that. It's a refreshing change from period series which take themselves too seriously. Thermos! <headsmack> why didn't I think of that! I was wondering how I would get coffee at work! Doc didn't mention PT and it's not on my orders. I'm going to ask about when I have a follow up visit

    @Scott6255 Glad to hear you are running without much pain and healing well.

    Welcome @youngcaseyr Those are impressive numbers!

    @noblsheep Awesome! I loved how you thought about why you were doing the race while you were doing it. Congratulations!

    3.73 miles today = 25.74 / 25 mile goal
    I have two more runs planned, so I should actually go over 30. Yippee!

    I was scheduled for 8 miles today, but took a rest day. TMI warning.......I currently have too much chaffing on the underside of my girls. Bodyglide no longer works. Yesterday I put nonstick bandages in the underside of my bra and it helped some. But later in the day when I took my bra off, the areas had stuck and began bleeding when I took the bra off. So today is forced rest to allow them to heal a little. I am frustrated by this. I have tried different bras. Bodyglide did work for a while, but it doesn't any more. Ideas, anyone?

    @AprilRN10 Ditto. I tried everything. The only thing that works (for me anyway- believe it or not) is this cheap sports bra. If they ever discontinue it I am going to cry.

    @7lenny7 Glad everything went well. Hopefully with the holidays coming up it won't seem too long until Jan 17. Kody looks happy to be "helping".

    @shanaber Congrats to Hobbes!

    @HonuNui I always love your snorkeling pictures.

    @PastorVincent we are never ready for that phase. My son turns 21 in January and has been with his GF for a number of years. I sympathize.

    @PastorVincent I am so glad I've got years before I have to worry about that sort of thing!
