So yesterday was the outing to the Podiatrist. I began my day by teaching at Bible Study. I felt as if God has given me a few too many object lessons. Romans 5 begins by talking about the perseverence we will need in life as struggles come at our lives and then it goes to talk about being helpless. I feel as though both could have been aimed at me. Jim took me and and brought me home: then we headed for the clinic. I liked the Dr. Although his news wasn't grrat it was not surprising. My break was 1 centimeter from needing surgery so I was thankful about that. The cast will keep the leg and ankle from moving and give me a challenge. It's a beautiful blue cast that is high and thick. I was smart enough to take sweat pants but what I didn't think about was the width of the sweat pants. In our modern world and fashion I have all narrow like Yoga pants, sweats and even my sweat pants from Trinity from Addlea, are now big mouthed...or bell bottomed . So eventually when I am tired of wearing these pants, I will probably have to cut the leg off a bit so I can get it off my leg. But an $8 pair of sweat pants are easier than $25 jeans,,especially jeans that I like. I will be creating memories and survival lists for the next 8 weeks. I do have a walking cast but they should redefine walking . it's a barely push pressure on your foot cast but you can pretend. So the crutches and the walker will become my best friends.
My brother brought me a gift last night; an Apple TV. 8 have no clue what it does but I am watching the Canadian Finals Rodeo right now. How cool is that. We don't have cable and there is nothing on television so I am thrilled. I am taking an online equine course, studying for some speaking engagements I have. I will even increase my napping and then have Jim bring up my weights so my body doesn't forget how to work out.
So my list of needs...I will begin making them and so many have offered to help out and do chores and step in. I have some high school girls who will come out and work horses and even though I desperately miss walking through the pasture, it will come again. My survival list will be the following.
To keep the house in somewhat of a semblance of order. I will choose to ignore the underwear and that Jim keeps forgetting to pick up..I won't forget they are still lying there but ai will ignore them.
I will whittle down cooking supper from 25 minutes to 15. It should only take 3 times as much time to make it as it takes to eat it and last night we ate in 5 minutes... Of course we were starving also.
I will see myself toe warmers for my cast foot. I will get send a card to someone also suffering each week. Seems that Facebook reminds us we are all stuck in the fallen world... I will attempt to remember one family birthday. I will call a few more people and maybe take back up ranking phone calls. idle time should be used to at least amuse others. And I will try one new recipe a week. Along with a few things I am trying not to do is eat all the chocolate in the house. Luckily I hide my chocolate up high and I can't climb anymore so I think its safe... Tonight I head for Bible study and they want me to play on the worship team..Hmmm... Should be about time for another adventure...
