i feel wee taw did (random re me)
so i busted the crap out of my heel a couple days ago. i can't really put weight on it yet. which makes otherwise thoughtless things insanely hard. i'm going to make a list!
- showering
- i always feel as though i'm moments from death while i'm gimpy and showering because i have to hop around on the slippery bathmat. no real close calls yet, just palpable fear.
- eating
- think about what you do when you make food for yourself. you make it (in the kitchen) and then you carry it to the table, or the couch, or whatever, and you eat it. except that i have to either hop, which sends food flying, or use crutches, which uses both hands. *sigh*
- working
- i work at a computer, typing for most of the day. i also am supposed to keep my foot elevated to reduce swelling. it's hard to keep my foot elevated and type at the same time! try it sometime.
- ordering pizza
- this is just a whole mess of complications... where do i start?! ok, so actually ordering said pizza is not actually more difficult. but it requires a lot of forethought since (for one thing) my landspeed is drastically reduced. so i have to be near the door when the pizza comes, otherwise Mr. Delivery Man might get impatient and leave (not really, but in my head). then i have to get TO the door relatively quickly, open it, open the screen door, not let the cat out, pay the man, grab the pizza, not let the cat out, and get to where i'm gonna eat without pouring pizza all over the cat/carpet/myself.
such a hard life. Posted by yargevad at April 8, 2005 10:53 AM
