Dramatic Improvement
4 days ago I noticed regions of negative Gaussian curvature (think saddle) on my previously positively curved thigh. WOW! That's my quadriceps muscle! Long time no see!
So suddenly I'm pissing off all the extra fluid like a racehorse - and instead of an inflated football I now have what feels like a half empty water balloon or bad water bed, with plasma sloshing up and down inside the stretched skin. BOOM! the swelling just vanished in the space of about 4 days, after 2 months of infinitesimal daily progress. As soon as the damaged skin heals and shrinks back to normal I'll be fine. No signs of calcification. The vessel is still raw but that will fix itself.
YIPPEE! I can walk!! I can ride!!
The body's reparative functions are just amazing.

Good. I'm glad for ya.
Come visit Champaign IL while it's still warm enough to ride and I'll treat you to a lunch/dinner/drunken binge/whatever.

I'm coming there ASAP
It' been planned - just need the ducks to align their feathers or entrails.
Nothing to see here, unless you've never done the USA.

Keep me informed. E-mail (slightly mangled) in the .sig.
Substitute my eight-character username here on ZIW before the dog-turd, and the underlined bits of the .sig after it.

you are already rich
you have a kid, a woman who can stand you and a job, now having the means to travel would be great but definatively an extra. Me, I would love to show up with doc, go to that bar where that suomi was shooting off his mouth to you and demonstrate the Ugly Amerikansi in all its glorious colors. :-)
thanx,
