SHIP'S LOG:


     I started physical therapy for my ankle and most of it is just moving the ankle in any which way it will go and even in some directions that it should go but won't go at the present time. It is a lot of flexing and twisting and because you are supposed to do it in tandem with the uninjured foot, you get an immediate readout of just how far you have progressed and how far you have to go.In some directions I am nearly back where I should be, in other directions not so much. There is a lot of snap, krackle and popping going on which was distressing at first as I thought I was cracking bones but the physical therapist said it was just scar tissue breaking. I also have to spend time rubbing the scars. It was at the sight of the scars that the nerves were cut and rubbing them is supposed to break up the scar tissue and get the nerves used to being touch and so reduce their sensitivity.  I hope that is so because it is still painful at times when I try to sleep.  I'll just have to see how well this works.

     Yank Boatyard is shutting down its "consignment shop" and they want everyone to come and take away the things they have left for consignment sale with them. I think I left several pieces of machinery from the old refrigeration system  and the old auto pilot. I will have to go and get them and take them to the Consignment shop in Mystic. I doubt that they will sell but anything is possible. As someone once said, "Some greeny-back dollars are better than no greeny-back dollars at all."
