A Leg Up

[moneymatters]

There were a number of things he had to get used to again, now that he'd gone through the surgery on his leg- that is, replacing it -and the lengthy physical therapy process afterward. Swimming was supposed to be good for that, and though his doctor hadn't exactly mentioned it, he wasn't doing ordinary water swimming, either. It'd taken some doing but eventually he was almost able to get back up to his normal speed of burrowing like a gopher through his money.

He was in the vault when a visitor was waved upstairs and bidden into his office. Huey was out, doing work elsewhere, so it was just Scrooge here through the (thankfully) open vault door, shifting around to do another lap through the coins.
