Five Thoughts:

1. Well, my ankle is improving but not as quickly as I would like. I’m trying to think of it in terms of time: I was pregnant three times for nearly nine-ten months so I think this 3-4 weeks is doable.
2. My panic arises when I think about the myriad things we have to do in October and how easy they’d be if I was completely mobile: Elliot has a school project and we have to go to the library, Zoey has to go back to the vet, the boys’ school fall festival is next Friday, etc.
3. I totally rode the handicapped cart at Target this morning. I felt a little silly doing it and almost like a poser but the splint did help justify. Also, I got there at 8 am sharp so I wouldn’t run into anyone. Though all the people stocking shelves didn’t make maneuvering easy.
4. Crutches killed my wrists! I spent yesterday using them at various times and now my wrists are dead. I don’t even know if I could use them today. SO dumb.
5. I will never ever take mobility for granted ever again. Take care of your ankles, pay attention, watch where you’re walking. This is my advice.

Me riding that cart; lol

The last photo I took before my accident. Sigh.
