My Big Hurt Left Foot-Day 4

Well, the weather suits my mood, dark, rainy, dreary. Nah, that's not right, I'm not THAT bad, and actually have sorta discovered a routine in this most non-routine part of former and future active life. I'm a writer, I can work anywhere, and having a bum foot doesn't mean anything, unless I typed with my feet. I think a problem was I'm trying to work from my couch, always dangerous, with foot up, laptop on my lap, trying to pretend it's normal. It's not. What's normal is me in my little office, so I'm relocating there, pulling all the notes and such I had on the coffee table into my office, putting a pillow on the radiator and window sill and hoisting my big hurt left foot up there to rest, keep the swelling down, and working. I just did it for a few, felt great, felt regular, felt normal, like I was in my work space as usual. I think this will be a huge help in breaking up the days ahead. Only drawback is I can't just jog off to the bathroom or kitchen quickly, have to plan, get the crutches or wheeled walker thing, and take a few minutes to do it.

But gotta do it, it's helping, and I'll work through the day as usual, and instead of taking off later tonight to Beth's, she may come here, and Jess is good about being around. And I've got tons to read on the Kindle, on the internet, there's always something to do to keep the mind active.

Getting better, slow but sure, still be a long next week and a half but then I'll be out and about, driving, almost normal (on crutches), then rehab can start and it'll be done. yeah, I'm going with that...
