SUP

Heidi came to spend the day with me today 

She ordered a paint by number kit and brought it with her

She also made homemade hand pies and bread for sandwiches and veggies from her garden

All of my co-nurses sent this card home with Martin and gummy bears with 2 gift cards - one for Grubhub and one for Amazon 

Martin was early shift - left at 5:30 am and came home at 5:00 pm inflated the SUP and let Fritz try it out

No Running

My mom brought us dinner tonight 

My dad watched the NCAA track & field championship with me

While Martin went to the grocery store and brought me home flowers 

I’m getting pretty good at balancing on one leg by now 

Same leg different day

Important People

 

Scar legs - Olivia sent me the link to some scar tape made of silicone that I ordered called Slukhig

She brought me lunch and 2 new embroidery sets to make 

Martin came home and walked Fritz to charge the car

We played Mahjong

Olivia came to spend the day with me today 

I loved spending time with her and it was just the therapy I needed. I saw this quote after she left: 


Some people are like unpaid therapy.

They come, they shine, make us smile, and never ask for anything in return.

Those are important people.

The driveway is already cracking 

Divy had his braces put back on Tuesday

My foot is even bruised

Pass Time

 

To help pass the time on this achingly slow healing process I have been journaling through my emotions
