They have been! I've been feeling a ton better and I almost have full mobility back in my ankle. Just some occasional pain and some tightness in my leg from not using it for awhile. Smooth seas don't make a skilled sailor!

It's given me a lot of time to think about things and work on a plan. I guess I'm kind of grateful for it in a way. All of the downtime has given me a 'clarity' if that makes any sense.

Thank you @steevc!
