Wow. Been a busy, eventful couple of weeks. Plus, it's October, my favorite month of the year, when the weather turns, I get to watch a month of high-drama postseason baseball, and it all ends with Halloween. What could be better?
First, the ankle. My follow-up with the orthopedic surgeon went very well. He told me that the surgery was a complete success, he was very happy with my post-surgical progress, and that after just a week or two more to make sure the healing is solid, I can start being more mobile and kiss the hospital bed, wheelchair, and walker goodbye. I have a feeling the walking boot and a cane will still be with me for a while after that, but I'll know more after the next doctor visit at the end of the month.
Second, moving. After a tense couple of days where we were scrambling to get cashier's checks for security deposits, filling out lease applications, and then sweating out a selection process where the owner had two sets of financial data and had to choose which one he wanted . . . we got the house! Well, it's a duplex. But it's on nearly a half-acre and it is exactly what we wanted -- still close to Buda, much smaller than our current house, and much cheaper. We get the place on Nov. 1. Closing on our current place got pushed back to Nov. 16, so we have a good-sized window to get the move done. We are extremely happy about this turn of events.
Good news all around!
