It involved salad, which was a delivery mechanism for creamy Caesar dressing, taquitos, which I'm convinced were actually filled with beans because they didn't taste at all like beef, dipping sauce of sour cream mixed with hot sauce, and milk. I'm an adult! What's ridiculous is the entire process of getting changed and getting dinner to the table and eating took almost an hour.
Because this is what I do when Mike's not home.*
Then again, this was actually easier than it was when I first broke my foot, because at least I can stand in one place. I still do a lot of crutching around, but now I get a lot more impatient and end up either using the counter to move or hopping around on my good foot, which I'm sure isn't the smartest thing to do. About the time I get really comfortable and used to this way of moving around, I'll be released to physical therapy (hopefully, anyway).
I have just under two weeks left now, though, and I'm looking forward to not only walking again but also being able to carry things in my hands at the same time. Then there's also stairs, but that's how I got into this mess in the first place, huh?
On a different note, I am still having sinus problems, so my mom (who stayed with me last night while Mike was away) took me to the pharmacy to get a neti pot. From my limited research and hearsay, it seemed like it might be an alternative to dragging my ass back to the doctor to get put on antibiotics. I'm not sure if I have an infection or if it's my allergies, but my nose is sure driving me nuts still. I figured it wouldn't hurt to try to flush out my sinus at the very least, and it did seem to help a bit. It made me super dizzy, but it made me clear for a bit. I still complained and worried I'd have to go to the doctor when the results wore off after an hour, but today was a little better overall. I'm still very stuffy, but it seems better. Hopefully I'm not just placebo-ing myself because I really REALLY don't want to go back on antibiotics. I guess we'll see.
And I was a great host to my mom last night! No I wasn't. I was kind of sick and whiny and braindead. My poor mom. At least she was tired too. :/
Anyway, I have another entry that I wanted to write on Monday that doesn't involve my health at all (and in fact, I have it written, just not typed and composed), but it involves excerpts of my paper journal, which is all the way upstairs. Oh well. Maybe I'll catch up this weekend, which I'm also very much looking forward to. Stupid daylight saving time. I'm about ready to be used to that nonsense (or at least sleep in to a decent hour). I've had too many days where I've made a bunch of dumb mistakes this week. Woo.
Until I get it together, hopefully everything is going well otherwise. Catch you later and such.
*He had fish training in Livermore today (with Guinness battered fish and scallops, jealous!), and he should be home within the hour. It'll be nice to have him home again, even if he was only gone a day. Sheesh, when did I become that person? ;)
