Thursday, September 27th,
I know it has been awhile since my last blog update, but my knee recovery has be a very slow, and unsuccessful journey. Stating that, I do have slightly more range of motion and will be getting two knee braces for flexion and extension. The braces are worn three time a day for an hour in each direction. This may help me gain some range of motion, but definitely keep me from losing any more than I already have. The month of September has been very tiring and emotional for both Kevin and I. Coming back on board has been quite the challenge and then Kevin had a hernia that became a much more serious issue than originally thought. His surgery was moved up, after a trip to the ER with the hernia doubling in size and causing severe pain with in a few hours. Two days later, he had surgery. That was a week ago and he is just able today to get a shower and walk the length of the boat without a pain level of 8 or 9/10. I will save all the details, but he will be at least another week or two before he can even manage walking down the dock. His manhood has grown to the size of a grapefruit and the color of a plum. I will leave it at that.
On a more spirited note. We will be leaving this wonderful marina in Ft. Pierce, in mid November and then crossing to the Bahamas. Our original plan was for the first of December, but our slip was reserved for the 15th of November , prior to us coming in. Hopefully the captain and crew will be up for the voyage. As our time grows closer to the departure date we will be posting more frequent blog entries. Until then Fair winds, my friends and smooth sailing.
