WWMD?


What is this you say? Well, it's a close-up of the dressing on my leg. I couldn't let you actually see my leg, as it is badly in need of shaving, and I am not about to shave around the 2 incisions on my leg - too scary. Anyway, back to the story, when we bought dressing for the incisions the other day, we forgot to buy something to "adhere" it to my leg. So, I asked myself, "WWMD?" (What would MacGyver Do?) No need for paper clips here. Thankfully, I found the Dora the Explorer Band-Aids from when my neices lived with me. Otherwise, I might have had to use the pink duct tape we bought to tape a trash bag over my leg so I could bathe.

First Wine Delivery - Ever

Being car-less, I was unable to pick up my quarterly wine "shipment" at San Martino in Rockwall in December. So, I requested to have my shipment actually "shipped" to me. Well, it arrived today. I received an automated call from UPS early this morning stating that I had a delivery and someone had to sign for it so please be available between 8am and 7pm. Good thing I'm not going anywhere. The Flyer that explains the wine!
This cracks me up. Please note the 3rd instruction : "No delivery to an intoxicated person permitted"
For some reason, this really strikes me funny. Do you think the UPS guy/girl ever comes across this? What happens if the intoxicated person gets belligerent because they can't get their fix? Do they have to call the cops?

I think this is so cool. I am saving this packing so the next time I'm transporting 2 bottles of wine, I can make sure it arrives safely to my destination.


WA-LAAAA!!! My wine... finally..... only 2 more weeks until the next quarterly shipment. So, I better get drinkin'!

Just call me MacGyver

(Or maybe MacGruber with this hair!!!)

I have been washing my hair in the kitchen sink. I have my PC set up in the breakfast room. So, I have been drying my hair there because I couldn't stand up that long in the bathroom.
So, since I didn't have a mirror, I thought to myself, "What would McGvyer do?" Of course, use the Webcam! I'm a freakin' genius. It's so obvious.
Of course, it's not a perfect solution. I can only see the front of my hair, and when I look in the webcam, the side I'm brushing is the opposite. It gets confusing.

Week 8 - Docter Visit

The little saw that will be removing my cast. Yikes!
Almost done.. and no additional injuries. How they do it without
splicing your leg open is beyond me.

It gets even prettier from here. I will spare you the details.

X-Rays - Looking Good! Doesn't everyone have metal in their leg?


My new fashion accessory! Am I a ski bunny or a robot?
Physical therapy starts on 2/17 and ends on 3/19 (the day before my birthday).
Next - get a rental car ! Back to work ! Buy a new Car !

Obnoxious Kitchen Gadget

This is from one of my many friends who love to "donate" their finds for my blog.
This is definitely not for the "foodie" in your life. Even though it is gross, I couldn't help but post it. It is just a little funny.

You Say Potato, I Say Potatoe

Beverage/Beverge
This is my microwave. I just noticed the other day (after owning it for a year and 1/2) that it has a beverage button. So, today I used it for the first time. I'm like Oh MY GAH!!!! Who programs these things? I am wondering if I can fix it myself - but I might have to just leave it for kicks.

Tattoo Time

Just Kidding. Check out this link - it a tattoo for your cast. It's hilarious.

I go to the Dr a week from today (Feb 5th). It's already been 7 weeks - oh my gah! I'm glad the time is flying. I am now able to walk putting pressure on my leg - and I am off the pain meds - so I think I might be ready for the next step next week - THE REMOVABLE BOOT. We'll see what the Doc says... otherwise, I guess I can just sport a "CASTTOO" instead.
