Happy times in the Sierra

Laying here, foot elevated and waiting for the swelling to go down after my second day back at work. I decided to look through my catalog of photos from the last couple of years and came across a series of panoramas I made while out in Pioneer basin in 2008. It's bitter-sweet looking at such things right now yet I'm hopeful I can make a trip or two still this summer.

Update #2

Almost two weeks after the surgery and three weeks immobile on a couch...

Still swollen and not able to bend my ankle but looking a lot better than before!

x-ray showing the five screws put into my talus bone, heel back in the right place and tendons lassoed back into place. The specter of AVN looms over me and certainly has me worried about being able to return to my former activity level.... only time will tell.
