I’d like to speak to the manager!!!
Hello strangers!!!
It’s been a while. So much to share. But that will come!
In the meantime.
My surgery was almost 6 weeks ago. The recovery has gone well. Not as quick as I’d like. But well.
20 minutes after I was awake and talking to my first physical therapist I asked if I’d be ready to go to NYC at the end of November.
No one would commit. I’ve had 8 different PT people. None would commit.
Well.
Fuck them.
This morning we got in the car and drove 6 hours south.
Fun fact. My knee did not hurt.
My fucking left hip hurt. I had a physical therapist ask me last week if other body parts had started to hurt. I said yes. My ankle. My right knee. My left hip.
My hip hurt on the car.
Knee. Nada.
We arrived at 4:30 and the first photo shows our rock star photo. We actually parked down the street and as we arrived at our apartment a woman drove away Adam Beckworth ran and got our car and we parked right in front.
We got all settled and were off to the theater.
We got up town 90 minutes early so we grabbed a drink and snacks at Gallagher’s steakhouse. It was fun and delicious.
I however looked at my watch that said 6:30 so we grabbed our check to get to the theater. When I got there I discovered my watch was almost 20 minutes fast. Whoops.
I had time for a beer while Adam checked work email.
Fun fact! 90% of the theaters are dark on Monday. We had like three things to choose from. So I convinced Adam that Dracula a comedy of Terror would be fun.
It was fun. But I was more interested in the very tall, very handsome Dracula with a perfect physique.
Did I mention it was funny.
Them his real estate agent showed up almost shirtless and hidden under his modest suit was a 5’4” perfect physique.
Did I mention it was funny.
It was short and sweet and we actually did have a lot of fun.
Next up was dinner. It was 8:30. Our reservation wasn’t till 10:00. So we headed toward the restaurant and went to a bar for a pre dinner cocktail.
We ended up at a bar called Dante where the drinks were awesome. Service was better. Space fun.
Then it was off to the Minetta tavern. Fun restaurant in the village. Great meal of escargot. (Snails for those not in the know). Shrimp risotto. And foie gras. (Duck liver). Then a strip steak and French fries. The whole meal was spot on.
Here’s the best part.
For the first time in almost 2 years I took the subway uptown as I was able manage the stairs.
And.
We walked home. Pain free. Probably a little over a mile. No fucking pain.
Full disclosure.
I’m fat and out of shape. It’s been more than two years since I could walk more than a minimum amount.
And since surgery I’ve eaten a lot of comfort food.
So chubby. Winded. But pain free.
I’ll.
Take.
It.
