tiny get-away
C and I had a great little 24-hour get-away to Toronto. The original goal was to buy some furniture for the upstairs, but I’m under doctor’s orders to not drive for at least 4 weeks, so we were limited on space in our GTI for much of anything significant. C wants mid-century modern and/or Danish [...]
focus on the positive
wednesday morning i’m having an upper endoscopy. read what that is here. truth is, i’ve been avoiding medical tests like this for 18 months. although i’m very very very sick of being poked and prodded and drugged over the last 6 months (kidney stone surgery, bike accident, etc), i think i’m ready to find out [...]

hat happy
After much debate, bought a Piper & Paisley hat. It was my savior for the first two weeks after the accident, since I couldn’t wash my hair by myself. It’s pretty much the best hat I have ever owned. Trying to type less because yesterday’s post caused hours of elbow aching after. This is my [...]

pretty grey walls on a sunny day
Stayed away from the laptop for a few days because typing hasn’t been helping the healing process. I am out of the slings for the most part, unless it’s the end of the day and I am out and about and need the extra support. At this point in the healing process, it feels like [...]

no pain, no gain
so, cast is off. and sadly, the pain is much much worse. trying to stay positive. typing w/ fingers is hard and wrist rotation worse. things that are keeping my spirits up: naps, ice packs, carob-covered raisins, iced almond milk chai, supportive friends, the pedicure i got 3 hours ago, & C. lots of changes [...]

fun with wounds
moving a little more today. wondering if things will be more painful when the other cast comes off (maybe thursday?). took some pictures of my wounds during a dull moment. not gonna share the gory ones (!) but i’ve always loved Oh Joy!’s this & that so here’s my take… right arm cast, pretty tights large [...]
