O’Rourke and ankle progress

Friday, June 27th, 02003

O'Rourke's new website design is pretty smokin'. I shall have to respond in turn with new design.

I'm full of newly-found vim and vigor and am walking 100% sans-crutches (but still with 98% boot).

Spenser on my ankle and the new top500 list

Monday, June 23rd, 02003

Spenser says:

"bone,

it sounds like you have an infection. please drink plenty of water and take
your meds.

my boss back in portland had broken his ankle and had screws and a plate
similar to yours when i was working for him. the metal did him the initial
good of holding things together but then did nothing more than plague him with
ill-content afterwards.

8 months later, he was able to go back into surgery and have everything
removed, no problems after that.

please take care.

hopefully you have heard from the doc on your test results by now..."

which was kind and informative. I actually feel close to 100% better today. The blood tests showed tons of white count, so the antibotics must have had a target.

The June 2003 top500 list came out today.

Sick as a dog

Saturday, June 21st, 02003

I've been ill for a good while. I've been running a fever of up to 101.5 degrees Fahrenheit for more than seven days. While I don't have any symptoms of cold or flu like cough, upset stomach, conjestion, or enlarged limph glands, I have been extremely tired and achy. This is most odd. Yesterday, my orthopedic PA told me this shouldn't be related to the healing of my ankle. I went to the doctor and she perscribed a 10-day course of antibiotics and had some blood taken for tests. The tests should come back today or Monday. I wonder what could be wrong with me.

Ankle progress

Wednesday, June 11th, 02003

I went to the doc today. I start exercises and will wean myself off the crutches over the next week. One more month walking with the boot and then on July 15th it should come off for good.

Rebuilt... stronger, faster, etc:

Exhibit Engine has a lot of cool ideas about how to present an online photo gallery.
