Oh how I hate crutches! And boy are my arms and pecs sore today. Thankfully I can put a little bit of weight on the outer part of my heel, so with the lovely and stylish velcro boot at least I can put my heel down and help out a bit. I don't do a lot of moving around, as in going outside, but there are just some things one must do. Like make a cup of tea. Or change your clothes and let the dog outside. It all requires movement across the room. I've taken to using one crutch, ala Tiny Tim. I am sure it's a very attractive look for me. I avoid mirrors. Day 2 - I'm already stir crazy and I still don't have an appointment with the specialist. The orthopedic surgeon's nurse said he wanted to take a look at the X-rays before deciding if he wanted to see me or refer me on to a different specialist. Hooray.
I have work to do, which is good. It did get a bit boring by the afternoon. I do really like walking my dog and it is going to be a time before I can do that again.
I got some good knitting done while watching silly TV last night. Now the rows on the Color Affection are really long and it takes nearly an hour to do a stripe. I think for the bottom, since I'll have plenty of yarn, I'll make it a ruffle by doubling the stitch count, rather than doing a lace edge. The lace might look silly on this type of scarf. What's the saying about dressing up mutton?
Okay - back to real work.
