Day 5 broken tibia tip Wednesday
I got up 45 minutes ago. I wasn't thrilled at the prospect of moving my body from here to there, but the morning bathroom run called. I used the crutches. It worked better than before. Maybe I'm getting pretty good at this. I think it's a balance thing. You put the bad foot out in front.
I used my crutches and got to the bathroom without hurting myself, and prepared myself and took a shower! I even got myself safely in the tub chair! It was quite the feat! Willem came and helped me once he heard me in there messing about. He helped me take off the boot & sock that under it so I could actually take a whole shower. It feels amazing to be clean again, especially my hair! I've done a lot of sweating in the past few days!
It's good to have wonderful friends and family. I have very little trouble sitting in the chair and having all that I need, with my devoted husband Willem.
Mj is going to come over today and do some more laundry. It's clouding over in the west, so perhaps when Mike takes a nap, then she'll come over and do her laundry here.
I'm sitting in the chair by the window that overlooks the perennials of garden. Scarlett has been workting out there. She's got a enormous wheelbarrow loads of weeds that she's pulled up. At least three of those enormous wheelbarrow loads probably more. She was working at the end of the staircase to the tipi yesterday, so this morning it looks really nice out there.
I have to fill up my birdfeeder with sunflower seeds so I can watch the birds again. I can see them in the tree and on the wire sometimes. Perhaps it's better that they are over there actually. Then they can take care of the Catapillars and bugs.
I am enjoying sitting by the window here. It's really quite nice to look out and see the garden and the road in the trees and the birds. I've been in here working on my journalling for a long time now I guess about three hours
I sat in our bedroom for the morning, watching out the window and journal updating.
I moved to the upper room and sat on my chair or most of the rest of the day. I went out on the balcony twice. It's too high to be doing it. Too high.
