Well, to update the soap opera known as my life...
I'm still seeing podiatrist to debride scar tissue from toe amputations, but that is almost healed up. The Dr is mostly trying to reshape a cleft where my fourth toe used to be to allow me to keep area clean in the future. Not a lot of fun, I always end up with a shoe full or blood, but the blade is sharp and the pain is tolerable for the one or two days it takes to stop bleeding. At least I have good circulation there now.
The pain in my right knee is mostly gone. Stress fractures in end of tibia have almost totally healed, and the ACL tear has also healed w/o surgery.
It has been almost a year since I felt good enough to go downstairs to my armory/gun room and look around. Didn't remember how much stuff I had that I hadn't used. It all dates back to 2013/14 when I first started having problems with left leg that led to below knee amputation.
I found a lightly used .44 Mag Redhawk and five brand new bullet molds. An NOE 358292 in 92 grs that I bought to try in my Mustang .380. A Lee 358-158RF and a Lee 358-148 wadcutter. An RCBS 45-325 for my 45-70 Marlin lever. And a Miha .41 caliber 220 gr SWC that was specced as a group buy on CB forum from the bullets from my 10 cavity H&G #258 mold. I got all the HP pin options with this one.
In a few weeks I am going to try to get out and shoot up some old ammo to make room for some new stuff. Probably won't be able to hit my butt with both hands but you got to start somewhere.
Yep, got a lot to look forward to.
