No not to far at all, I am roughly the same South of Elmira. Went to doctor today, skin is healing well but I still have what she refereed to as "Sausage toes" meaning they are still more swollen than they would like them to be. One of the hard parts since I have been home is making sure I take the antibiotics on a full stomach, I never eat at set times but try to take them at 9 and 9 but have to find things I can eat without having to cook in the morning as my diet is all meats, eggs and cheeses so I normally have my GF cook for me but with all she has been through I can't have her doing a lot of that so I am eating lots of pepperoni, and hunters sausage in the morning so I can take my pills and not get incredibly sick like I did over the weekend when I took them without eating. Lesson learned, the hard way, the only way I have ever seemed to learn. lol

Steve do you have a griddle? We did the carnivore diet a while back and an sticking pretty close to it now. The griddle is so easy to go cook bacon, eggs, and sausage on. You can do it all at the same time if you want to. Super easy to throw a steak on to.  I do 90 seconds on each side then melt some butter on and start doing 60 seconds back and forth in the butter.

Yes I do, the electric is rather odd in this old house and I have to be careful to not blow a fuse in warmer weather as the A/C is always on. You can't run the A/C and the toaster or the fuse blows. Now that it is warmer I will use it more though. We cook in the crockpot A LOT.

So I was able to put a sneaker on my left foot for the first time since September First,  kinda hurt at first and I didn't think I could keep it on long, I was able to keep it on about 3 hours though. I'm still on crutches when my left hand will let me use them. I was told the surgery unfortunately didn't really work though, I am not surprised, everything just went wrong is all. Toes are not much better if at all from when I had the surgery, if things had not gone as they did they would be much straighter. I had hopped it would help me hunt better and maybe get me out of the blind and back to the ground, maybe it still will, we will see. Still a lot better than when. I thought I would lose it, though.

Thanks bud. Kind of funny looking at the sneaker, I bought them two days before the surgery so it looks brand new and the other one looks not brand new. lol
