Three days of crutches were three days more than I ever wanted to experience, so I tossed them to the side and limped around with an exoskeleton around my right leg for a month. Now that it's gone, I kinda want it back.
Regular shoes seem inadequate.
I'm still wobbly and weak.
The sadists down at Physical Therapy get to have a go at it now, but in the meantime, I'm confined to desk work.
The problem here is that I like the desk job more than my real job.
A lot more.
I like being behind the scenes, out of view, out of the way..and out of mind.
I'm a little bummed that I'll be fully mobile again, and I'll be slung back into the pit, fully visible, fully functional...and within reach.
No exoskeleton anywhere in sight.

What, you haven't read about loin girding?
ReplyDeleteBut, face it with a smile.
I always face it with a smile.
DeleteMostly because they pay me to smile.
Personally, I'd see lack of mobility as slow death. Although, an exoskeleton, purely for extra armor when faced with a crowd, sounds kind of nifty.
ReplyDeleteGetting in and out of the car was hell. I like being able to just go somewhere. I like freedom. But at least it was only temporary...
DeleteSo what you say is that a desk job is not a real job >;)
ReplyDeleteI think I agree. Lots of the things people do sitting by desks do not produce real value.
The guys in the physical therapy are just wannabe-sadists. The real sadists work at the dentist's.
Cold As Heaven
I enjoy bookkeeping. But I wouldn't do it if I didn't get paid. So it's a job. A real job.
DeleteMy office job is research (in geophysics). I enjoy it so much that I would probably do it even without getting paid. The I guess its like s hobby and not a real job >:)
DeleteWell, I have to say, I worked retail for YEARS. I liked working the floor, but I LOVED escaping back to the office and handling payroll, inventory, scheduling, etc. So, yeah, I get it. Hope you're well on the mend by now...
