    Well my Thursday has shifted to Friday. A scheduling snafu caused me to nearly make my mom miss her ortho appointment yesterday. I spent most of yesterday speeding around central IL so a surgeon could say "well your wound is healing well but you still shouldn't be walking on that leg for 6 weeks".

    Still, I'm excited to get yesterday's work done today :P Time to start Feb off on a high note.
