the Invalid, Day 21
still progressing. the bruise is 98% gone, but lingers near my knee, on the inside side. I can finally feel the swelling going away on the backside of my thigh, mid to near knee. This past Thurs I hit a low point at work. my leg was quite uncomfortable, and I was standing a lot at my computer, which is not great either. I had one of my coworkers send a message to the PA I saw at the ortho office, with some questions I had. She got back to me and said that a muscle injury like mine was just going to take time, that they could see me sooner if I wished (I have a follow up appt scheduled for Mar 25) but that I should continue anti inflammatory, like advil or aleve, elevate and ice, when I can. So this morning, I can definitely tell the hard, swollen part is getting softer and not feeling so tight. Man, 3 weeks today! But I am finally seeing the light at the end of this long tunnel. Healing is a lot of work!!!
So today, I am hosting another Movie Afternoon at my house. Sister is getting out of work at 1:30, and coming over. Cousin Stephanie will come too. I am going to make some lunch for us (not sure what yet, I have to go to the market) and get a movie from Red Box. I will see what they have. I need to vacuum, empty trash/recycle, dust a bit, clean up kitchen. I need more birdseed for my little feathered friends.
The other day, I got TWO shower invitations in the mail! oy! One I knew about, the baby shower for Walter's niece Cassandra on Mar 26. I have made a baby blanket for her and it is finished. then I got a wedding shower invite for Walters' nephew Mike's fiancee, Kate. That one is for April 9. oy!! I have to figure that one out, as I have no ideas for a gift yet....
So I am off to do chores, then off to do shopping, then home for a relaxing afternoon.
Tonight we turn the clocks ahead for Daylight Savings! YAY! it will not get dark tomorrow until almost 7 pm!!
it will be delightful to get home in the daylight again from work!
So I wish you all a wonderful weekend!
XOXOXOXOXOXO
