how awesome is He!
yesterday was austin's last reconstruction surgery, it was to re-attach his torn ACL. he had decided to use his own ACL versus a cadaver and was warned that although it would be much stronger, it would also be a more painful recovery. his dream is to become a police officer, so he opted for the stronger, more painful route.
once they got in there, they found his ACL was fine! they took the opportunity to clean out some other cartilage and trim some damage. so the recovery time went from 6 weeks to 4 days.
he will start rehab on his knee, but he's already back in the gym working at a greatly reduced pace. he will need one more surgery to remove the rods and pins from his arm and hand, but then that should be it.
he is one blessed young man. it makes me realize that God has some plans for this one. it makes me smile just thinking about what they could be.
norris is looking at the rv as we speak. they called yesterday to confirm what is to be fixed. our travel plans next week depend greatly on which is ready, my bike or the rv. so the countdown begins. . .
if we take the rv, we will leave as soon as it's ready, go to the desert and spend a week out there riding, exploring, etc. if we take the bikes, it's baja with bahia del tortuga, scorpion bay and a few other spots that we haven't seen.
either will be delicious. i really look forward to using the rv to it's fullest. we still have the leveling jacks and the new awning to be installed, but we can use it without those next wee.
so, now the waiting game.
in the meantime, my work on the cabinet doors has slowed to a crawl. must. motivate. self.
if we are going to take the rv, we will definitely need those doors on to keep things secured.
for now it's back to work!

Glad to hear Austin's recovery is going so well.
Catching up on this past week... AWESOME news on Austin! That's terrific.
Sounds like you're having fun getting the RV in shape, too! :-)
