Had a visit with the orthopedic surgeon today and unveiled the monstrosity underneath all that gauze and ace bandage.
Eleven staples
Five screws
One pin
One three-inch steel plate
Four more weeks and I hope to be out of this evil evil boot, I will not miss it.
Day one of sitting around incapacitated and I have not quite figured out how to make the best of it. My arm bruise is ripening nicely and I’ll find out how long this pesky broken leg will take to heal. Being a fairly avid walker I am hoping to find some other sort of outlet, sitting is not so fun.
And so it begins.
Today Stacey and I start the third annual little sojourn in to the world of meatless living. For the month of March we will abstain from consuming the flesh of animals. Much to the distress of my grandmother, it turns out that a fish is indeed in the animal kingdom, and consuming its muscle tissue would break our rules. Tonight we dine on vegetarian chili, should be a tasty month of alternative eating.
