I broke myself

Hey friends.

It's been crazy busy on my side of the screen.

We've been trying to get our house on the market to sell (goes up on Friday!!) and work has been nuts.

But on top of that I decided it would be a cool idea to fall with a ladder and break my ankle.



Yup.

I had surgery on Tuesday to put everything back where it's supposed to be. Five screws and one plate. When they send me the X-rays I'll share for your enjoyment.

So I'm here. And laying on the couch. Not dead. Just a little broken.

PS - if you want the gross "this is how it looked before they fixed it pic" then this spoiler is for you. No blood, just my foot in the wrong spot.

Spoiler for:

Sure about this?

Spoiler for:

Oh man, glad you're okay.


btw, think it might be time for some new shoes dawg.

Hello.

Work shoes! I was supposed to be painting.

Didn't even open a can before I fell.

kindred spirits here (i mean, we already knew that though). there's a certain craft in ruining absolutely everything before you've even done a single thing.

Ouch!! I hope you feel better soon!

I should have heeded your warnings about the second picture... That hurts just to look at! o___o

Yesterday was my first day back at work.

24 days at home.

SO READY TO GO TO WORK.

yay!!   welcome back!!

 to normal life, that is ;~;

Hello all!

Update on my foot: I'm not dead.

I'm now six weeks out of the boot. My range of motion is limited and my calf muscle has atrophied like crazy.

But I'm walking!

Currently I'm going to PT twice a week where they stretch me and move me around to get me back to normal. I can tell a huge difference. I also went and bought crazy expensive shoes because apparently I've been standing incorrectly my entire adult life.

Not jogging yet, but the PT folks know my goal is to get back to running.

It's been tough, but I'm slowly getting back to normal.  Woot!

I'm not dead.

That's good to hear read.

Oh, also.

Glad you're walking again!

I broke myself today
You see I just fell
I don't focus on the pain
The only thing to do is heal
The noodles fill a hole
The old familiar taste
Try to chill it all away
But I remember everything

Glad to see things are normal around here.

Sounds like you bones have healed nicely

Do be careful of jogging. When I broke my ankle the tendons took far longer to retrain than the muscles.

*hugs*

Thanks! PT is helping a ton!

Kind of. Mostly just dead around here.
