Follow if you will, on the journey from dead foot to good foot. After nearly a lifetime of degenerative disc disease, surgeries, experimental procedures and pain pills, a severely ruptured disc caused extensive nerve damage leaving me with a nearly lifeless foot despite an amazingly successful surgery. So here is my plan, rebuild the strength and sensation in my naughty appendage, lose weight and get fit so that I can avoid another one of these.

Meet Capt. Jack
You know the old saying, "If I don't laugh, I'll cry?" well, I think it's an old saying... anywhozees... to help keep my sense of humor about this whole ordeal, I've named my bad foot, Capt. Jack. As in Captain Jack Sparrow that nutty pirate. I've come to this name because, like Capt. Jack, my naughty nub is lazy, crazy and drunk. See the similarities?
And to help keep his sense of humor about this nonsense, Joel decorated Jack. Good, huh?
Capt. Jack and I went to physical therapy today and while I was working hard, he was still unwilling to move. But I'm gonna show him who's boss. And I'm working at eating right, while I normally would fall into a snack myself into oblivion sort of routine, I have eaten smaller meals and have been eating smarter snacks. Well on the road to a better body. Stay tuned!
