Sing along while wearing your favorite Star Wars regalia!!

I kinda wonder where my blaster went...

This phase of the recovery involves this boot which has an air pocket on each side that can be pumped up a bit to provide comfort.

It is just another part of the overall recovery. I still can't do any weight bearing on this foot/ankle. Three more weeks before I even get to start PT, but the good news is, I can now give the stinky storm trooper foot a bath and shave my leg which is not ready for primetime.

In deference to the Star Wars attire I will be wearing ad nauseum, Thomas gently says since I am a storm trooper, my Death Star is my 17-year old ancient van... Lovely. NOT. Then, he comfortingly he says "Let's just hope no one shoots anything up the tail pipe..."

HEY!! I remember that scene and it didn't work out too well for the Storm Troopers and their boots!!!

I love you, too. PIGLET!

Kindly, Thomas offers to defend me in his Tie-fighter, but then I reminded him that the Tie-fighters didn't DEFEND the Death Star at all... not one tiny shot.

I am not comforted by his evil laughter and begin to wonder if HE isn't Darth Vader after all... remember, he did use the force to choke that one dude on the Death Star who was less than cooperative to Vader's plans.

My only question now is, if Thomas is a plant for the Empire, why does he help me at all? Then I realize that he is like the characters in his video games who can't quite decide whether they are good or bad yet. The color of their light sabers is kind of unsettled... like their choices.

So is Thomas a member of the 'rebel scum' and just yanking my chain about my temporary storm trooper status - like Luke appeared while rescuing Leia - or is he a mole from the Empire seeking to use the 4th of July fireworks to blow my van to kingdom come??

Hmmm. That MIGHT be kind of fun.

Wouldn't have anything to ride around Jared in, but man alive, that would be flippin' awesome to see the van go BOOOOOOO!!!

Yeah, I know.

Control yourself.

Whatever.

But should you happen to be looking out into the the northern skies near Thatch and Clem Roads and see a van fly through the skies, I promise it was an accident.

That's what I plan to tell the insurance company and I expect you ALL to back me up.

We now resume our theme music...
