Update

Hello Mystery Readers,
Well, as a followup to the previous post about changes,here is an update. We have now entered the Extended Illness portion of the ride. Funny ,but 95% of me does not feel ill. And then I try to travel across the room and am reminded of the previously mentioned changes.
I have recently returned from a 0630 trip to our quite large local grocery store,early to avoid crowds when doing something called "toe touch weight bearing". With crutches ! THIS is however a huge improvement over my last experience of This Summer Sucks- 2006 edition. You see I had a walker then. Yes, really. Completely demoralizing. So anyway, my store actually offers a convenient riding device for those with difficulty traveling the aisles. I utilized those during 2006. I would rather crawl through the store than do that again. Don't be worried, things are not at all to that point. I however have very strong feelings about this subject...do you feel me on that?
I suppose I could have sent the BabyDaddy with a list . Yeah,not so much. The beautiful offspring ? Yes, they would go . But in one week ,I feel I have lost my entire routine. And I watched it go. It went while I sat in a chair feeling sorry for myself, angry for stupid things that happen ,and in typical nurse fashion focusing on worst case scenarios. A wasted week swallowing NSAIDS, icing and elevating . And waiting.
I. Do. Not. Wait. Well.
So the grocery trip today is a return to some sort of normalcy . I went because I CAN. And I am glad for that. We should all emphasize more not what we cannot do, but what we CAN do.

I hope you all will.
