Almost there

I went to breakfast with friends, went to Barnes and nobles (bookstore) and then lesson planned for 2 hours on the phone with a coworker and dad and I Just got back from going out to dinner and going shopping 😂

It’s like since I got the news from the Dr that I’m a cast for only 2 more weeks I’ve been feeling more like myself an a lot more motivated to get out and do stuff. It felt good to be an actual human again.

Might have done too much. Foots really swollen and sore. But so worth it! It’s interesting to look back upon my time since surgery. The first two weeks are a blur because you’re taking meds and sleeping a lot. The middle two weeks are the worst. I was depressed, felt like I was in limbo, couldn’t see the end, just miserable and the last two weeks have been hurry up status. I’ve been out doing more because I know there is an end in sight. And my mood has become much better as well!

And then this… I try and be helpful… like feed the cats…. and the container pops open and goes everywhere (picture below). And the worst part… I can’t clean it up. I attempted to sweep it into a pile but I can’t use the dUstpan to pick it up. Nor can I get them new water because I can’t lift the automatic bowl to clean it out. It’s so frustrating. I feel like I still can’t even be helpful or do anything around the house. And I feel bad for my boyfriend who had to come home early from work and deal with it.

I have a return date to work. (Yay??) And I was so excited at first but now I’m panicking. I don’t think I’m ready. I am exhausted just moving on crutches. How am I going to do this?
