Three months ago today I arrived back in California and had surgery on my leg. So it’s fitting that I chime in here with another WorldRider update. While a couple weeks have passed since my last post, here’s what’s going on with my healing and therapy on my once broken leg. In short, I know […]
Insurance can be a rather dull topic to discuss. Frankly, so is health care. While I believe that we that live in the US have arguably some of the best health care in the world, it isn’t cheap and usually isn’t available to just anyone. That is, health are is available, but like most things […]
As you can imagine, it’s hard for me to sit still while following those friends I’ve met on the road or over e-mail during my seventh month sojourn around the world – currently in intermission while my my leg and I regain our strength and composure. So while I can’t entertain you with more of […]

I’m off the narcotics and have switched to Advil. My leg still stiffens up at night. I wake. Stretch and flex the bugger. Then have a hard […]
I tried to get as much sleep as possible that first night in the hospital. It’d been a long journey to get here — three and a half days to be exact. But I’d spend the next three and a half in that hospital bed. I gave the nursing staff and my doctor a scare […]
I’m getting tired of sleeping, pain killers and doing nothing. Some say I should relish in my down time. I’d like to spice it up. I’m coming along. The nights are the hardest. Between pain medicine wearing off and my leg immobile for hours while I sleep, I wake up stiff and in pain. A […]
