So I kinda let last weekend and week get away from me – actually all of February so far, since my last post it was still January. And it was freezing cold & snowy then, as opposed to the sunny & 42° it is now. Or, well, one of the weather apps says 43 and … [Read more…]
Since I can’t go anywhere, I’ve been indulging in sleeping later – until 7:30 – and staying in pajamas later, too. Even so, without the commute, I’ve been starting work earlier and ending later. When I work from home, I can either work upstairs where it’s warmer and I have my up/down desk & big … [Read more…]
I got my crutches on Tuesday afternoon, so today (Sunday) is my 5th full day with them. I think I’m getting somewhat used to them. My arms & chest are less sore – I think Thursday was the worst night. I’ve gotten out on the crutches a few times. Wednesday I went to work – … [Read more…]
So the verdict on my knee, revealed by the MRI, is that it’s broken, and generally F’d up. Insufficiency fracture – a type of stress fracture; meniscus tears; arthritis; deteriorated cartilage; and some kind of cyst where the knee lube fluid is draining to. The results showed up in my MyChart Thursday evening while I … [Read more…]
The saga of my knee continues. I think I told you that the last time I went to PT, the therapist confirmed that the orthotics (prescribed by the 1st PT who was a maternity leave fill-in) didn’t seem to be helping, and I should send them back to get adjusted, and stop wearing them until … [Read more…]
Another day to hibernate – or so I hoped. I went to bed at 10:30 and kind of read and dozed until 11:00, then gave up and took my glasses off. I slept until 1:30, woke up parched and thirsty. I’m still kind of stuffy from my cold, and getting really dried out in the … [Read more…]
Well, let’s make that the last day of 2022; I started this the 30th and didn’t get very far. My plan was that me and my bum knee would accompany Mark on his walk – that went OK, 4.5 miles. I walked sans orthotics, since I have not been wearing them for about the last … [Read more…]
I have a cold and there’s been a Covid outbreak on my daughter-in-law’s sister’s side of the family, so we’ve all been spending Christmas NOT getting together. Whatever we’ve got it’s keeping us away from dat baby. For Christmas Eve, Mark and I had homemade pizza and watched Love Actually and the Christmas Ted Lasso … [Read more…]
Yesterday we passed a milestone of cookie season. All the leftover cookies have been transferred into smaller containers and they’re in the fridges. I also finished grading yesterday afternoon, although I did have to go back in and change a bunch of grades this morning because I forgot to add points for a lurking assignment, … [Read more…]
… that the cookies are appearing on insta. Have a look!
