day 4

I have learned all things are possible with Christ...not all things are possible with crutches. I have learned that... crutches can
1.  Flush the toilet quite easily
2.  Push the button on the elevator and impress strangers.
3. Make a racket when things they fall down the stairs.
4.  Can be an irritant to people..any people.
5.  Are not quiet in the middle of the night.
6. If you lose the thingee on the bottom you are a guaranteed accident waiting to happen...again.
7. They seem to scream HELP and you don't have to ask for much....

Day 3

I woke up hungry...I am used to working out three days a week and so am a bit concerned about sitting still for so long and still eating like I want to. So today, I scooted, then hobbled around the kitchen and made myself an egg, turkey bacon, feta cheese scramble with kiwi. Don't be too impressed: we are out if Cheerios and have tons of eggs so I used what I had the most of.

This is 

my Boot. I am sure I will name him in the  near future. Ethel and  Lena, the crutches, I still had from my knee surgery and what a comfort they are. Except I forgot they hurt your underarms. Is that what underarmor is for? Protection from crutches?  I feel good except for the pain in my ankle. Will go see the specialist next Tuesday so it will be a week after the break and the swelling will have gone down. Right now it's working its way down my ankle and should be out my toes by Sunday. Till then, I am watching Judge Judy and getting lots of ideas from Pintrest about what I can do when I can move at will...

day 2

They said it would hurt more on day 2.  Unfortunately they were right, I have ditched the freezer packs for peas.  The pillows that came with the couch that I thought were useless: nay nay. They are perfect for getting the leg in the air.  He left me alone and I didn't harm myself. I can go to the bathroom and back and snuggle up all alone.

Oops Happy Birthday to me

What a wonderful birthday....cards, gifts, ladies bible study, driving home and falling on ice as I unloaded the car.. So now we are in time out.  I have a boot, an office chair on wheels and my crutches. I will be sharing my walk through the next 6 weeks more to amuse you and keep myself entertained but also if you ever are in my circumstances you may find some of my creativity handy...

Day 1... Don't wear fashion boots in the winter. Look like a farmer and you probably won't fall.  You will look like a farmer but looking like a bun on the couch isn't that appealing either.
Look around at what  is handy.  Rolling office chairs are almost better than wheelchairs. 
Whatever you do, always have a bathroom on the first floor. I may never go upstairs again..oh that's right...to take a shower or bath I have to go up or down stairs which means if I go up, then I must also come down. We do have 150 gallon tanks from the horses pasture for their water. I could go back to an old fashion Saturday night tub in the kitchen. Hmmmmmm
All those things you were going to do on a rainy day? Well, it's raining..literally and physically so guess I won't be going back outside so I have begun my list of things to accomplish in the next 6 weeks from a lazy boy.
