Week One

The first week was about adjusting to one leg.  I quickly realized that if I use my computer chair to get around I'll have my hands free to actually do things.  I made a trip to Wallmart with my mom and was put into a scooter by a 70 year old employee.  It was slightly embarrassing but made shopping very easy and no crutches  I normally don't like Wallmart but for the time being it is my new favourite store.  I bought a plastic stool to shower on and some Pilates DVD's to do everyday so I don't lose all my muscles.  I got to keep the rest of the body strong.   And Mom found me a loner wheelchair to take me to the Ex!

I saw my family doctor who recommended I stay off all work until I see the specialist on Sept 15th and get the lighter cast on.  I know I'll be eager to get back to work when I'm allowed.  Thank you to all my friends/family who took me out and brought me dinner to keep me sane: Audrey, Roxy, Jen K, Jen L, Mom, Doug, Kyle.  And thanks to all who sent messages of encouragement.
