I woke up today feeling pretty good, well rested and so on, having had a nice evening out the night before and so on. I did some cleaning around the house (sinks, dishes, that sort of thing), which I haven't done since I hurt my knee the 2nd week in January. Not that they hadn't been done, but I hadn't been up to it. Then I got together some ( Read more... )

Bah, parents. Bah divorce. Insert long discourse about parents and finances and retirement and car accidents and closed-head injuries. Insert rant about reopening long-dead issues and revisiting problems that should have been fixed a decade or two ago ( Read more... )

Better - my tummy-ache of this morning was probably due to brewing my tea too strong, and not due to me getting sick (again) or because I forgot my tummy meds. So I sat still for a while and it went away ( Read more... )

Well, worker's comp won't pay for the first 7 days of leave from an injury. They say it's a state law. This eats up all of my sick time, and being out this week has eaten up all of my vacation time (save maybe a day). Grrr ( Read more... )

Between flu and crutches, it's just too much.

Slowly, slowly, I'm showing signs of recovery. I've been able to take 2-3 steps at a time without any crutches at all, provided they're preceded and followed by long rests. I can get around our house on just one crutch. So that's something, at least. I have a lot less pain than I have had, so I'm dialing back on the pain medication a little bit ( Read more... )

Well, I did go to PT this morning. It turned out to be the dumbest thing I did all day, on a day which included driving in frozen rain.

Nothing has changed. Knee still hurts a lot. Nate still has the chicken pox (diagnosed by dr, now) and gets to stay home for at least 4 days. A. has *something* - it could be shingles, but the dr. says no. He has to go back for more diagnosis, since Nate was with him. My boss congratulated me on a 'clean sweep' - everyone in the family down at ( Read more... )

I've spent the day sleeping and talking to doctors' offices on the phone. A. spent way too much time getting stuff for my mom, and I haven't managed to get a handicapped parking pass yet, but I have something like 3 doctors' appointments next week. I (re)watched Serenity. I snoozed. I played video games. I started thinking about planning menus ( Read more... )
