Hurray for Doc

Went to Doc today and she fixed my cast. It will take a couple of days for me to really tell if it is totally fixed as the poor irritated heel has to recover. She came at me with a saw - YIKES!! - I know she knows what she is doing, but dang is that scary!! I was really putting trust in her. When she was done, I said to her it must have been scary to learn how to do that. She said, "You were the one who should have been scared." I assured her I was!!

I thought she would cut a square window, but she said that sometimes causes problems with the edges irritating. So she cut what she called a "rose petal" hole. Since I can't see it, I don't really know what it looks like, I will have to have Keith take a picture of it.

Oxycodone down to two a day and I imagine one a day pretty soon. But, lest I forget that the bone is far from healed, I accidentally put a little bit of weight on it during a bathroom hop and holey-moley it hurt!!! I will really try not to do that again!

Just heard from a dear friend who wasn't able to drive for TWO YEARS due to her medical problems - makes my pitiful few months hardly worth whining about. That is one of the real dangers of illness/injury - it makes you so self absorbed. How do I feel, what is going on with me, ME ME ME! I know I need to really get back into my reading (stuff other than mysteries!) but I am just in a stagnant place mentally. Keeping up this blog has forced me to at least THINK some - maybe I will get back into learning and growing someday soon. Just in a slump - know it isn't permanent.

Stupid hurricane heading up to Florida panhandle way, it looks like. Poor things, they just got swamped with rain from the last storm and here comes another. I just pray it skips us - I wouldn't want to handle the 12 hour trip to Atlanta we always have to take because of Keith's job. I have to sit in the back seat with my leg stretched out - cast won't let me get in the front seat. But, on the lighter side, I am a really good backseat driver!!! Just ask my sister who had to put up with me telling her what to do for 3 hours on I-4 through downtown Orlando and then I-95 to Jax, in a strange car, and she didn't even snap at me once. She is part saint, I tell you!
