Survived

My first week back at the office. Driving has gone well. I'm still wearing the lovely black boot below, but I have been crutches free for 2 weeks now. My next Dr appt is March 5th. I should find out how long I will wear the lovely boot. I was told that it will be about 2 months from now before I walk normal again - but the real question is this....

Will I ever get to wear HIGH HEELS again?

Norma Kamali - Spring Collection @ Walmart

Check this out - I got the pink t-shirt that says LOVE already. It was only $10.00

Physical Therapy - At A Glance

Riding the bike - 5 minutes

This helps the swelling - wish it was a fat sucker outer.


Icing it -15 minutes - what I haven't captured here - is my physical therapist who pushed and pulled my foot and ankle, and then proceeded to "massage" the swelling out of my leg. YIKES. Only 2 more weeks of this.

Back to the Office

2nd day back... it's very cold in the office. I am really regretting not ordering the snuggie when I had the chance.

My new car. I got it on Saturday. This was the easiest car buying experience I have ever had. My dad went with me. I bought it at Hancock Mazda in Mesquite. Only spent 2 hours there. It was awesome. After not driving for over 2 months, I was a little apprehensive, but the more I drive, the better I feel about it.

My Rental

This is a Chevy AVEO. I have never heard of it before. I got it on Tuesday. Driving is very interesting. Just taking it very slow and cautious. I started physical therapy this week. So far, so good. I go by to the office on Monday. I'm off today to get a new car. Wish my luck. Zoom - Zoom. !

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 !

It's a plant? No, it's a ....

....litter box... but wait, according to Queer Eye for the Straight Guy (remember that show?)

NO FAKE PLANTS.... dang it... just as well, this is way to expensive for a fake plant!
