Frankenstein….sorta…..

 

Well here it is….the boot.

Not trying to be artistic with this shot…strictly utilitarian.

The cast came off and the crutches have been relegated to the bedroom for use only at night when the boot is off.  I have a habit of jumping into things with both feet, and did so yesterday – literally.

After I got home, I made lunch and cleaned up the kitchen.  Then I sat down for a couple of hours….should have stayed down longer.  Annie called and had some errands to run and being the zealot that I am, I went along.  After Bed,Bath and Beyond, Lowes, Ulta, Barnes and Noble, Maycayos, and Target - I have to admit, I overdid it.  I paid for it last night and again this morning.  Surprisingly, it’s my knee that is giving me the most trouble.  So today, I’m trying to be a little smarter – spending time off the foot, putting ice on the knee and contemplating my limitations. :) But I had fun!!!!

Oh, the dreaded boot! I remember it well. It's a sight better looking I suppose than a cast but you have to remember that as long as you're wearing it, you're still not a hundred percent well. So take it easy, lady!

Fun has a price but if it's good fun... :) Why not?!
God bless you!

That sounds like a really good day! Too bad you had to pay for it. I've never had to wear one of those (I'm knocking on wood as I say that, at least I hope this desk is wood). Take care of yourself. Sounds like it might be a good time to catch up on some reading.

You should give me the recipe to go to more than a shop per day... I am a terrible shopper...
and yes I remember having had such a boot not that long ago :-)

I don't know why but I was expecting it to be Pink with big flowers on it.

I loathe errands-- except when I have some reason I shouldn't be doing them, and then, like you, I can't stay put! However, you have an excellent reason to take it easy, and I hope you manage to control your shopping urge and rest!

It's great that you have all that energy. I feel inspired to clean my kitchen now, thanks!
