In 10 days I get another X-Ray on my broken leg to decide if I can put weight on it. The physio said it is likely I will still be on crutches for at least a week after that while I ease my way back in to walking and it will be a month or so until I’m walking normally. Nevetherless the end is in sight and while I’m still broken I thought I’d make a list of the things I’m looking forward to doing when I can walk again (plus my sister Kelly loves lists).
THINGS I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO DOING WHEN I CAN WALK
Carry things like plates and cups- Ditch my orange Andy Warhol bag which is my constant companion to move stuff around the house
- Walk around the block and eventually up the big bastard hill on my street
- Get in to the car without huffing and puffing
- Stand up in the shower
- Have a bath
- Join the tennis fit thing at the tennis centre
- Sleep with my right leg completely under the covers
- Sit in a chair comfortably with both feet flat on the ground
- Get my own food at a buffet
- Cook some complicated meals
- Keep on reading lots of books
- Hang out in a cocktail bar for a few hours
- Go outdoors as much as I can!!!!!!!
WOOOO LIST! I LOVE LISTS!
*orgasm*
You left out kicking cats !
Oh and how could I forget wearing two shoes instead of one and busting out the proper collection!
Gus and Lucas ask after you two or three times a week. Lucas can’t seem to grasp the fact that you’re STILL not walking around and not back at work yet. Every time I tell him he’s all like “Wow, she really broke herself, didn’t she?”
