Time to post an update on condition.
Both mom and I are doing fairly well. We had a follow-up with the orthopedist this past Wednesday and although he has not yet released me as a patient, he did certify me able to return to full duties as far as work is concerned and He did certify as healed enough to return to driving.
Mom is healing well, although she has to be in a wheelchair most of the time as her bones are so fragile and brittle that untill her bones are fully healed, he does not yet want her to put any weight on the broken leg. We are both having good bone re-growth.
Right now, the biggest hindrance to getting out to find work.......as I said earlier, NOBODY in the greater Columbia, SC area is hiring. According to the scuttlebut, which I discount a good bit as rumor and fallacy.....even the shop that I was with is not doing well.....that the designer's he took from other shops in the area are now searching for greener pastures. As to how much is truth and how much is fallacy, I have no clue. However, I can say this.......If he gets desperate enough to contact me again......He better have more than a substantial sum.
Anyway, before I went onto a tangent, the biggest hindrance to getting out and finding work is lack of dependable transportation.....and the fact that Mom needs to have someone here at the house to act as somewhat of a caregiver. Currently, I have been doing that.
However, Once I can work out the caregiver situation, I do have a great job possibility. There again, Even that possibilty is tenous at best, considering how much traveling I would need to from there to here to attend to doctor's visits, consults with the attorneys, court appearances - which I am sure will have to happen eventually.
