If everything goes well, I'll be donating some baked goods to The Cookie Brigade, which will be active at PAX East in Boston taking donations for delicious baked goods.  I'll be supplying the Banana Brownies from Personal Trainer: Cooking.

Wow, sorry about that, everyone.  I got home and managed to fall off the face of the Earth, completely!  Let me catch you up on what's going on with everything.

Just before I got sent home from PT, I developed a blister on the bottom of my left leg.  It opened a few days before I left, and by the time I got home, it had developed into a layer of escar, which is kind of like a hard scab over an existing wound.  I also still have the wound vac on the wound on my butt.  Well, when I went to wound care (at AGH) to have them check out the wound vac, they also looked at the wound on the bottom of my left leg, and concluded that they didn't want me walking for now.  They've since removed the escar layer, allowing it to begin healing up normally.  It should probably be a couple of weeks before I'm allowed to be on my feet.  This means that the beginning of my out-patient PT has been delayed and, sadly, I won't be able to get up on my feet at PAX.  Really though, it's ok.  Things are healing up well, and that's the most important part.

So, I've been doing a lot of reading on my new Nook (the Color version), a lot of movie watching on the Netflix Instant Queue and, starting today, I'm conditioning myself for PAX.  Yeah, I know I can't walk at PAX, but I really need to be able to wear my legs for a decent amount of time at a stretch.  For one, and this is the most selfish reason, there are people there to whom I really want to show off my legs.  Second, and this is the more practical while slightly embarassing reason, is that I need my legs to be able to transfer on to a commode...which is something I plan on doing at least once while I'm there.
