Injury Report

A week has passed since my accident with the 20# weight.  For the most part, I think my foot is feeling better.  I have to remember that it will take awhile to heal, the doctor said 2 or 3 weeks.  I try to remind myself that my leg healed in its own time and this will, too.

Thankfully, I am taking the least amount of pain medicine as possible, trying to stay off of it as much as possible, which cuts down on the amount of pain medication required.  I do need to start doing something, so I am planning on concentrating on my upper body, just like I did when I fell off of my bike in September.  I can do quite a lot without putting weight on my foot.  It is time to get started!

All in all, it could be a lot worse. Reflecting on the timing of this injury, pre-Christmas, it has shown me the value in really slowing down, taking the time to think about what is most important, and what can slide this Christmas.  Plus, I have the most incredibly helpful kids in the world.  These are two gifts from this situation.
