Premier ballad au Caffe Saint Louis. Really happy to walk on crutches all the way to the cafe. Today is a really good day!

Last hospital visit. 3 more doctor appointments to go and I’m off to my life. Still a long journey of recovery ahead, onwards.

One of the surgeons explained my the surgery while we watched its video. It’s an insane amount of work. I have to give kudos to the bastards. I love to hate them ;-) Secondly, a fucking amount of tech goes into it, insane. Yet, it’s orthopaedics: drills, bits, pins, anchors and the fucking traction table (below) that damaged my nerves.

After a shower and a laxative drink, I’m ready to whatever. Shower: the great effort and pleasure of the day. Will remind myself not to take it from granted.

Democracy is back to Brazil and South America.

Wiggle your big toe. My Kill Bill moment. After 6 days of hyperthermia and full neurapraxia on my feet, I can finally move my toes. Still no sensation but burning. HCI helped me with alternative inputs thinking: I realized I could walk without looking at my feet by focusing on the feeling of the muscle contractions closer to the knee. Lots of mental effort but it’s working like a charm.

Which books to bring to a vacation trip?
