| Installed a new keyboard on my Dell Latitude D820ch laptop because the other one had a key that fell off. Leg really getting flexible and feeling strong. The pain is still there but I just stretch through it. New laptop approved for work which is a Thinkpad T510.

Started drum lessons this Saturday. We've had a set up drums for a while now and before my accident I was going to start. Doing my Leg exercises and stretches. I believe my weight is less now than when I was running. I just don't get hungry, but I'm eating a lot of protein.

| Not much to report. Work was busy and the leg was a little sore today but it's improving each day. Ribs improving as well but still give me trouble sleeping. Good job all those that ran STG.

| Had my Doctor's appointment and the femur is healing good. The bone is forming around the rod. But I still have the crack which has healed a bit but the doctor is being cautious and said no weight bearing for another 4 weeks.
He said I can use a stationary bike, swim and walk on one crutch and take about 6 to 8 steps without crutches. Well I took about 50 steps today and my shin is pretty sore. During the surgery that's when the crack was discovered and they were not anticipating it being there. They were thinking about going up in my knee with a nail to block the crack but knew that would cause running problems later. So they decided to use the screws and that's why I have to be real careful and not do anything to let the crack expand into the knee, being its above it. So another 4 weeks on crutches basically and no weight bearing.

I weight myself this morning since I can put weight on my leg every once in a while through the day (well the doctor really once to keep that next to nothing) and I weight 130.5 pounds. Changing from high fat and protein and not as many carbs definitely does cause you to lose weight if you keep the calories down. Trying to wear a shoe for the first time on my leg today, but the foot is still a bit swollen. When I did put weight on the leg it feels weird, like baby walking the first time I'm sure. Who knows what a baby is thinking about that first time. I need to enter into some wheelchair races to practice on my pace. :-) Breakfast: Muscle Milk mixed with one egg, 4oz yogurt water and ice. Snack: Spinach and leftover yogurt Lunch: Grilled Salmon burger, one egg and mushroom and onions Dinner: One turkey cheddar polish sausage, one veggie sausage, mushrooms, onions, peppers, green beans, and corn
Good healthy eating day.

Did about 800 situps last night with the rib pain and 100 push-ups on one leg. This wasn't easy. I haven't been doing push-ups and sit-ups for a week now and just haven't mentioned it. I did about 100 situps this morning and a few push-ups. Couldn't sleep last night... had a lot nightmares about the accident.

Had drum lessons today with my son and that went well. Learning a little each week. Then we went to my son's last baseball game. Did some odds and ends also today. Didn't really exercise at all today. Probably do some sit-ups and push-ups tonight.

| Tired and a little sore and cool tonight. Our furnace isn't working tonight which I discovered. The blowers are not igniting. I will call a service man tomorrow. I tried working on it my with no luck. I believe it might be a sensor on the blowers. Probably a system board. |

Furnace is fixed an it was the part I thought is was after looking at it on my lunch hour yesterday. It was the ignitor. There was no attempt to start a flame for the blowers to kick in. I was tired yesterday and went to bed pretty early. I have a lot going on right now in my accident and lawyers that we've found out the last couple of days. It's positive and encouraging, but I don't know a lot until I meet with the lawyer's on October 22.

Watched my daughter in her XC race today she finished 8th out of all the high schools. Next week is the finals and the top 7 runners will go to state. The course next week is the Idaho State University course which has a lot of hills. My daughter loves this course and does well on these type of courses. It's her favorite course so I hope she can excel. It was hard for my to watch the race. I had to fight back the tears because I really miss the running. This is the first race I've watched since the accident. Did around 800 situps and 200 pushups today. My body does feel pretty toned.

Did 40 minutes of continuous lap swimming without stopping. It was really easy. I feel like I haven't loss fitness. Although, I'm tired now because it's the first swimming I've done since I trained for the triathlon I did two years ago.
Also have done lots of sit-ups and some push-ups today. Took the wife and kids swimming as well to Golds Gym.

| Situps and pushups today. Did quite a few without really having a set schedule. Watched the Baseball playoffs then practice on the drums for an hour. |

| 40 minutes of swimming at Gold's Gym this morning. Two sets of push-ups and sit-ups. Will see what the evening brings. My PT friend recommends I swim 3 times a week and the other two days lift my upper body, then rest for the other two days. Rest! I don't know what that is... but I will do as he requested. I've felt like that's all I've done the last two months is rest. I will still do sit-ups and push-ups 7 days a week. Had another blood lab test today. It was fun blood squirted everywhere with a little bit of a mishap that the tech did on my arm. Blood was everywhere it was pretty cool.

Lifted weights on upper body at the Gym today. I'm a wimp, Mr. Gumby needs muscles. Also more situps and pushups. My weight is 128 pounds ... my weight has dropped being on this Protein and Fat meal project as I would call it. |

Had my doctor's appointment yesterday and my White Blood Count is lower than before and on top of that I feel like I'm getting a cold. The numbers for the count were very serious this time not like before I guess (like I really care because I feel so good). The doctor has had enough, and has scheduled an appointment with a Cancer Specialist that I will see Monday. This is the earliest she could get me in. She thinks he will discover the issue with my body and figure out the problem. She almost once to admit me back in the Hospital. Like I will let that happen. 55 minutes of continuous lap swimming.

| 1 hour and 2 minutes of lap swimming today without stopping. Not that hard of a workout. Maybe I need to take up swimming rather than running. I wouldn't have to worry about car/trucks.
I have to see a Cancer/ Blood specialist tomorrow at 2:30pm about why my White Blood Count is low. Hopefully, he can find something... because the doctor's don't know. I think it's nothing, just the body trying to heal. I'm thinking this may be my last post, because I'm running out of things to talking about. How funny "running out" I'm not even running. :-).
