The Unknown
Last Wednesday, in a split second, many of the things that I had come to think of as rock-solid in my life came crashing to a halt. As my daughters alluded to in their posting, I completely ruptured the quadriceps tendon in my left leg and had it repaired Friday morning. The rehab process will be three months to get back to a point where I can be mobile but more like 12 before I am back to "normal", if I ever was there! The re-learning process for the three quadriceps muscles involved will make it a long recovery, but I will battle to get that done. In the meantime, I will carefully evaluate where my life needs to go next. My email name, odinstone, reflects on the unknowing rune from ancient mythology, the one that cannot predict and yields uncertainty. I feel like I reached right into the bag and plucked that out. All I can tell you is how thankful I am for my family and circle of friends who have been supportive beyond belief. I ask for your thoughts and prayers as I journey to this next place in my life, guided by a knowledge that love and support will help me arrive at the correct destination.

Hey Pete,
It doesn't matter if she was small or even smaller.
Seriously I want to wish you a speedy recovery. Now that you have some time off, come on down south, lounge around in the warmth and we'll head to Hooters and tip a few back. It's really a good prescription.
Skip
Skip,
So what's the perscription, boobs, beer or better yet both ( or all three? )
I am keeping myself upbeat and although the road back is long, I'll be finishing with a sprint.
Piet
I didn't really spell 'prescription'. I know it's perscription. It's that damn word veriiphication that messes everything up.
Skip
Skip, that's the best part of boobs, tough to screw up the spelling, just make sure the O's are side by side.
You two have spent too much time thinking about the double O's.... Besides,,,it does make a difference as to WHERE the middle of the O's are ya know, North or south, or if your a lucky looker... they're in the middle...! ! !..
Anyhoo.... Piet, We are sorry to hear about your mishaps. We would have responded earlier but we just got our computer back after 2 weeks, and didn't hear about it.. Thats a hell of an injury... long road back from that, But Mike and I will have you in our prayers daily... All you have to do is BE GOOD AND FOLLOW THE DR.'S ORDERS...
So take care, & hang in there.
Mike and Stef..
"here's look'n at ya, OO !
