Ankle, oh ankle how do I love thee? Let me count the ways

I did not get too much sleep last night, as one could imagine. I had an early morning followed by a total of 4-5 times of getting out of bed! Mostly for more ice, water, food, or the bathroom. I watched Arrested Development, talked on the phone to Jason for hours, got frustrated with my gimp status. My mom is taking good care of me. She stocked the fridge with easy to transport and eat salads from Trader Joes and bottled water for my bed side. Getting to the kitchen makes me work up a sweat. Crutches are not as easy as they were when I was a wee tot.

I did get in and out of the bath tub on my own, which I was somewhat impressed by. Baby steps I guess. I miss Ryan a lot today. Terry is staying for a sleep over and I'm enjoying my post bath glow.

The coming weeks are going to be exciting. I'll be seeing friends, Liz is coming up from San Diego, Leonard will be passing through, and Jason promises to pop up at some time as well. Then on the 24th or 25th Lara will go into labor and deliver this baby we're all excited about. It will be a special time. Then one week later Ryan will arrive and oh what a joyous time that will be.

I do hope I am walking comfortably by then. Nighty night.
