Not Much To Say Sometimes

My life has slowed down a bit because of my broken ankle.  I look at the wonderful fall weather, the colored leafs and wish that I could just walked around outside.  Not so much.  The first week was hard as this was all new and I had the knowledge that the rivers had just been re-stocked with trout.  Bummer.

This 2nd week has gone much faster.  My pace is about the same but I know that time just takes time and not much I can do about that.  I can ice and elevate my leg but in the end, healing must proceed at it's own pace.  I can't hurry it up much.  Did I tell you about the different colors that have appears on my foot?

Sometimes I just stop and do nothing.  Hard to do at first but it takes work.  Works best outdoors and in the sun.  Very very nice.

I have an artist friend that sent me a craft project for Halloween and that is making some crows out of newspaper print.  So here is my current work towards that.  I emailed her back with the first evidence of completion with the understanding that she now had to produce.  She is getting on it she told me.

I have some small projects that I rotate around with and some days the prospect of getting some to-go food (Yeah tacos!) is always nice.  Not quite as nice as have two good feet but I'll take it.

Crutches.  My experience mirrors the word.  A pain.  3-7x the movement of normally just getting up and doing something.  Want to carry a glass of water?  Not so much.  Gotta use a bottle or find islands of stability that you can place the cup at from point to point as you reposition yourself towards your destination.  But I've found (and Bobbie has noticed) that I can stand at the sink and do disks no problem.

Getting new X-rays on Monday to see how the healing is going.  Maybe I can start working with my boot then.  Don't know.  

I try to keep up on the tech news, but it's the same type of issues over and over again.   Interesting, but may not be very healthy in the long run.  Facebook and Twister will need to change.

Enjoy the fall.
