A family sent me a story about their son titled Healing Power of the 'Shoe. It's a good one and will be in the book. I learned Saturday though that the 'Shoe heals more ways than one.

Buckeye fan and friend Catie Swendal is an occupational therapist at the OSU Medical Center Dodd Hall Rehabilitation Hospital. At the game Saturday, she shared with me that the website of yours truly is visited regularly by the patients at Dodd Hall.

Catie uses keyboarding in her rehabilitation and physical therapy to restore dexterity, hand coordination, and retrain nerves and muscles. I was flattered to learn that she has chosen storiesoftheshoe.com as a destination and website that her patients use during their therapy sessions.

To all the good folks at Dodd Hall I say welcome! I am proud for this site to be a part of the healing process and wish each of you all the best. Keep up the good work and keep your chin up; with Catie and the Dodd staff you are in great hands. As I type this with my one left hand, I am reminded that in two days my own cast hopefully comes off my right wrist, the seven pins out, and then I too will be joining you in the hard work of therapy and rehabilitation. We'll get better together! Go Bucks!
