Got into see the orthopedist yesterday. I’m off crutches, and in a splint. She wanted to give me more pain meds, but due to stomach difficulties, I can’t have most of them. So, I’m pretty much on Tylenol. No, it doesn’t take all the pain away. The only med I can have, actually only takes the edge off, and it makes me sleepy, so I haven’t taken it today. Do I hurt? Yes. But I have five pages of Merry. The final battle in this book is well underway.

I’ve been listening to musicals for three days. For those new to the blog, that means that I’m having trouble concentrating. But the musicals are working; at least I haven’t had to resort to Christmas music in June. Christmas music is what I listen to when nothing else works. So, it could be worse concentration wise. I’m off crutches, which is better.

I thought I was doing pretty well with the crutches, but Jon informed me, that maybe I wasn’t doing as well as I thought I was doing. He described my progress through the house thus:

He said, "I’d hear you, and think, she’s doing pretty good. Then, bang, "Ow, f**ck." Then the sound of me moving forward, then, bang, "Ow, f**ck!" Just repeat that part over and over.

One of the reasons that Jon and I work as a couple is that he doesn’t let me get too full of myself, and he makes me laugh while he does it.
