Every year I seem to fixate on one particular holiday food that’s usually really bad for me. This year, it’s cornbread dressing. With turkey gravy.
Stuffing-riffic. My local overpriced ‘alternative marketplace’ grocery sells it pre-made (and soaked in gravy) by the pound, and I’ve been gorging on it since Thanksgiving.
Which is fine, but since I’m trying [...]
Yesterday ended up being 10 hours with a move from one stage to another, and the foot held up better than I’d expected. Of course it hurt at the end of the day, but nothing that over-the-counter anti inflammatories and an ice pack couldn’t handle. I stepped on it the wrong way a few times [...]
Of my being out of work, that is. September 1.
That’s the day after my disability officially runs out, and the today the doctor opined that I’ll be okay to return to work at that time.
The foot’s not 100% healed yet (when I asked the doctor when I could expect this thing to be completely healed [...]
The 113 dBA alarm clock
If you think you can barge in from Sicily and change that, you’re wrong*!
Let’s hope it doesn’t come to the extra loud alarm clock.
Maybe I’m just cranky since I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in a week.
*Apologies to the angry ghost of John Steinbeck for taking such [...]
The days, they all seem the same. Wake up, drink coffee, go to physical therapy, go to gym or go to pool, come home to bad TV and noisy neighbors. The foot’s getting better but not yet 100% healed and I’m going crazy because I really want to get back to work but can’t just [...]
Since my actual prom (oh, so long ago) sucked ass (mainly because I was too cool/bound up in my teenage angst/busy caving in to resisting peer pressure to enjoy it), I thought Caroline on Crack’s idea for a Blogger Prom was a stroke of genius. Why not a prom redux when everyone’s actually going to [...]
Now that the foot’s feeling better (still not 100%, but much better, although it’s very sore today), I’ve been spending lots of time in the gym attempting to lose the weight I gained while flat on my back.
Now that I’m officially middle aged, this isn’t as easy as I’d like it to be, especially since [...]
Happily, I’m walking almost normally now. I don’t need the crutches or a cane any longer, altough I’m still a long way from being graceful (although one could argue that I was far from graceful before the surgery).
The foot has improved so much that I’m able to do lots of cardio in the gym (not [...]
At yesterday’s doctor visit, I got the good news – although my foot is a really weird color*, it’s healing nicely and I no longer need to wear the giant black walking boot that’s been the bane of my existence for the past three weeks (hard to walk in, hard to balance on, and very, [...]
I guess I should have specified that Peggy doesn’t have internet at Nurse Ratchet’s place. She’s doing quite well. I wrote her last post to update you all, and hopefully she’ll be home and online to entertain you all after the cute-but-married (darn)doctor signs off on her Monday or Tuesday. On the subject of feet, [...]
