Finished reading: Waking the Moon by Elizabeth Hand 📚overwrought, sort of a fantasy novel but overall too full of itself.

I need a fantastic presentation remote (clicker) that works great with Apple Keynote and uses a USB-C dongle for connectivity. I don’t want to rely on Bluetooth and I don’t want an ugly dongle that is USB-A on one end and USB-C on the other. As far as I can tell, this product does not exist. Help!
Finished reading: Circling the Sun by Paula McLain 📚A nice light novel about Beryl Markham.
Finished reading: A Woman of the Iron People by Eleanor Arnason 📚wonderful 1970s science fiction. I didn’t want it to end.

All hail physical therapists! I broke my leg 7 weeks ago. Freed from bed this week. Went to PT and said “my leg feels like a wet noodle, like it’s barely part of me.” They nodded and had me do a bunch of stuff. After an hour, I was walking. Still on crutches if outside but it’s a lot of progress.

Finished reading: Creation by Katherine Govier 📚excellent novel featuring Audubon in Labrador in 1833. Poetic, evocative and poignant, describing an Earth that no longer exists.
Finished reading: The Perfectionists by Simon Winchester 📚Excellent non-fiction about the history of precision manufacturing. Much more interesting than that might seem!
Runners who have recovered from a broken leg
I broke my tibial plateau in January. I’m still non-weight-bearing after nearly 6 weeks. I’ve begun physical therapy. I expect to be weight-bearing in one more week.
What are some strategies for getting back to full strength and especially being able to run again? I’d love to hear your experience, 🏃♀️
