Ugh… too busy. Sorry I haven’t blogged since my insane insomniac moments. I’ve been rather busy. Today I had to meet with a bride and her mother to help plan her wedding, then off to Fort Myer to try and get some things approved with Tricare… and then… and then… and then… things just got crazy.
Good news — I’m getting a prosthetic toe! How cool is that? A friend of mine saw a guy on TV who used to work for the CIA making disguises. (You remember that scene in Mission: Impossible where Tom Cruise rips off a fake face, and then we’re supposed to be shocked that it was really Tom Cruise instead of some fat dude? Well, that’s not so impossible. This guy did it for the CIA for years.) Now he’s retired and makes prosthetics for cancer victims, burn victims, and teenage girls who’ve had their toes amputated. He’s going to make me a fake toe so I can wear open-toed shoes. The stuff he can do is amazing! He can change his identity in 3 seconds! But, now that he’s doing other things, he can make ears for cancer victims, noses for people who have been in accidents, but the most amazing one was a guy who had been so badly burned he literally didn’t have a face anymore. Nothing. And this guy, he made him a face. It looked exactly like the man did before, right down to tiny scars, a beard, everything. It’s just phenomenal. When I get my toe in a few months I’ll take pictures to prove it.
He’s going to be on TV some time soon, too. On ABC Primetime, I think. He said he’d let me know when.
I’ve got to get some sleep now. I’ll try to blog more tomorrow, or rather, later today. 🙂
