Lisa and I just returned home!
The world is at once a gnarly and wonderful place:
I don't know for sure if there is a "them" out there, but there certainly is an "us" right here, right now !!!
Whatever it is I've done to garner so much heartfelt support, I promise to keep doing it!!!
(Except for the injury part)
Grand total in contributions through initial donations gathered at "the gate" for the fundraiser at Todd's house and all of the fabulous auction items is $6,589
Current total for checks in the mail (we came home to four of them) is $7,510
HUGE THANKS to all for your generous spirit.

A short trip report...
Our neighborhood after the big spring snowstorm a week before Todd's Tarbuster Benefit party:
Lisa, fresh from the Boston Marathon, chauffeuring me to Fort Collins for ASTYM therapy (a few days before the party):
Mt. Meeker and Long's Peak, handily spotted along the way:
Jeff Giddings a.k.a. Spectreman, performing the ASTYM therapeutic work (assisted soft tissue mobilization)
(prompting machrophage activity to digest fibrotic tissue & fibroplast recruitment to lay in healthy collagen)
The first broad strokes with a bladelike tool, contoured to fit the body:
Preparing to address the lateral tendon attachment:
Getting into it with a sharp tool at the medial attachment:
Hitting a speed bump in the architecture; extremely thick and resistant scar tissue:
Cold laser following the vigorous manual therapy:
Asking friends to help pay for tens of thousands of dollars of prior diagnostics and therapy, undertaken over a 12 year period:
($35,000 out-of-pocket in the last five years alone; yes I have health insurance)
Follow-through involves necessarily engaging a familiar exercise routine to realign new collagen fibers:
(not kidding about this; also includes a mandatory stretching regime, four times per day)
Special thanks to Jeff Giddings for performing physical therapy gratis.
And to:
 Spencer Lennard for kicking the whole thing off
Todd Gordon for hosting the party
Bullwinkle and John Long for the slideshow (and Dean's fabulous artwork)
Rick Accomazzo and Randy Vogel for running the benefit auction
Nature for doing a wonderful thing with sushi + The Clean Up CREW!!!
Ron, Lynne, Dave, Scott, Anders and all who worked hard to help put the auction into form.
Everybody, and this is a lot of people, who donated cash and auction items.
Much love and thanks from Lisa and Roy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I got a couple more bucks to add to that. We covered our sushi expenses and then maybe just a little extra. Math confuses me - I'm still adding and subtracting :-)

Sh#t Howdy!
Parts is parts Lynne.
So long as Lisa goes to work in the morning, fixes dinner at night when she gets home, washes the dishes and does all the driving in between (that's anything over a half-hour), plus any other backup allowing me a week of rest after a few hours of climbing and I'm right back where I started.
Tomorrow I do all the driving to Fort Collins and back for a therapy session (a half-hour to Boulder and an hour and a quarter to Fort Collins which I will break up with ample time between those two legs). That's a big push whether I climbed last week or month ago... I could totally pump out from the drive.
Any fine motor skill work is problematic (likely to kick back).
That means handling things with my fingers or hands.
A little climbing, say an hour two, once a week, is a lot less troublesome than a few hours of cleaning house, computering, or desk work.
The shorter answer to your question is:
I'm fine from Sunday as long as I don't do much else.
If I didn't climb on Sunday, I'd also be fine as long as I don't do much else.
