Today is x-ray/walking day. The feeling of bones and muscles settling back into weight-bearing and gravity is weird and satisfying. Bodies are strange organisms.
The past month I’ve pretty much been cooking, knitting, enjoying the occasional outing, and looking forward to a very fun fall and winter. This period was actually very helpful in getting me to shop and plan meals better. Oh, adulthood.
Thanks to all my friends who were so helpful. Seriously. You people did my laundry, took out my trash, got my mail, took me shopping, and took me to the bar. You’re, like, all my mom. Except for that last one.
Yesterday I had surgery to remove the hardware from my ankle, all of which was put in a couple years ago when I broke it in a really lame way.
I’m feeling really good, and have a small army of friends who are arranging furniture and cleaning up small rain-caused floods and making sure I’m fed and and making sure I’m taking my painkillers and generally verifying that I don’t injure myself in embarrassing ways in my own home.
I get the sutures out in 2 weeks, and then I have 4 more weeks on crutches. Since there are now holes in my bones that need to fill in. I don’t understand how there aren’t nanobots or Cylon goo to do this, but there you are.
And I kept the hardware.
