An Update from The Zombie Medic

Well where to begin, a lot has gone on since the last time I publicly wrote on this page so I will en-devour to get everyone caught up.
Minnesota winter held out till the last week of April, with one last big snowfall, frankly I think this was mother natures way of torturing me with my crutches.

I saw my Orthopedist mid April and he has decided that I have healed up so much they cant manage to put my hip back into its socket, I was crushed, I have been working really hard to get myself mentally and physically prepared for what I figured would be another long road to recovery, when he came back with this response I spent the better part of an hour in my truck screaming and raging at the world. I was nearly broken or at least at the time I think I was,  in hindsight I have discovered I am moving the best I can toward learning to live with my disability as it is, its hard to be honest, its hard seeing everyone around me able to move effectively and I walk like a hunchback, it has made me significantly harder, and pushed me to wanting to secure those things that are most precious to me like Mrs. ZM and Little ZM, as well as my other friends and family.

A week later I got a call from my Orthopedist regarding “nodules” in my lungs, evidently I have small little masses in my right lung and this concerns people, so two weeks later I would have a needle biopsy of lymph nodes in my lungs, this biopsy came back negative but they still would like to go in and remove one of these nodules, I am not exactly sure what this will entail, I am hoping its something orthoscopic and not requiring me to have actual cutting into my chest.

I started working at a local big box retail store in the gun department, its been good for me in several ways, I am making a bit of extra money to help pay off some debts, i am also wandering around without my crutches, and selling guns.  The hardest part i think is that we have several firearms I want.

trying to de clutter our house has been a unique adventure, Trying to clear out the basement and the garage, its a slower process than I would like mostly due to time, I am working almost 7 days a week and just cant dedicate the time I need and want to gettign things gone.
