A run down of this week... It's already been week? Apparently...

[kseenaa]

This week has been both ups and downs. As things go...

Monday I was at the physiotherapy at the hospital to learn how to use crutches and how to walk in stairs. And to get told I should contact one of the other physiotherapy places downtown so I can practice more there with stuff they have at place. Because at the hospital they only take those that are long stay patients AT the hospital. Which I totally get. So I've checked a list of physiotherapy places so I'll call around tomorrow morning. Meantime, doing the training practices I have at the moment. :-)

My leg is actually doing quite well! As long as I don't do certain movements when I walk with my crutches, I am doing fine. AND I CAN GO OUTSIDE! GO ON THE BUSS! DO THINGS!!! This is amazing. I'm not stuck inside at all times anymore. I love it.

Wednesday I went to the dental hygienist (at the same district health care centre that my dentist is located). And I got some kudos for how I care about my teeth, which actually surprise me, since I usually get told I'm not doing it very good. So that was nice!

And the same day I visited my job, which was really scary since it was rain AND ice that day... And I walked with crutches. o.O That... might not have been the smartest thing I've done. But I survived and did not break any more legs.

Reward was a lot of smiling faces from staff and students. Hugs all around. Even from my hooligans! :-D They clearly miss me a lot. I didn't think they would, but after being there for almost an hour, yeah... They do! It really warmed me and made me feel a bit better. My substitute / fill in / temp (whatever you wanna call it), was really nice but a bit... to nice? That school has some serious hooligans, and you have to be quite tough or they'll just walk all over you. I guess he's not had to deal with such kids that much, and was still trying to find his feet. But the staff was... a bit worried about him thanks to that, not really sure he could do it. One of them simply said: "Well, he isn't you. And we need a you here." X-D

Doing so much walking on the first day I was outdoors punished itself. Because I was achy in my arms the day after and even though I had no pain in my leg, I could feel I'd been overusing it a bit, so Thursday was rest-day.

Tuesday and Friday though I had a down days. I keep having them. I had no energy and felt absolutely worthless. Let's leave it at that. Ugh. I hate days like that. I manged to go on the bus and do a little bit of grocery shopping on Friday (yay, backpack!), but that was all. One of the reasons that I think I hve downdays is because it's so messy here. peting73 is doing his best, really he is. But he is a lot more... forgiven? when it comes to messes. It's like he don't see it even if it is right in front of him. And since he's had a cold this week, a REAL man cold at that, he just want to stay in bed as soon as possible, so not that much has been done really. Only the bare necessities. So much for keeping it up after mom did such a nice cleaning Monday. :-P

I'm sure the mess is part of it, because that always bugs me and makes me feel bad but then i don't wanna get up and do anything about it because it's overwhelming. i think that's why i'm so neat overall

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think so to. :-P It's really bothering me, to be honest. I hope I can get my best friend to come over and help out a bit this weekend. Fingers crossed and all that. Just to pick up all the messes, and then Peting can vacuum the floors. Kiddo loves to pull out all her stuff all over the place, but she's not so good at getting it back into her room. And we will not talk about the state of her room... :-/

Congrats on being able to do all that fun stuff again using your legs (being stuck inside must have sucked so much!). And it's so nice that there are places that need a you. :)

It was somewhat annoying, yes. I couldn't go outside for a month, since I wasn't allowed ot use the stairs. Had to call for a stairclimber everytime I had an appointment or something. Oh well. It's now over and done with for now.

Now it's just a matter of strengthening the leg, which is practice, practice and just using it. :-P

I do love my job, despite the insanity going on there sometimes. X-D

[double_dutchess]

Yay for being able to go outside!

And that's the most wonderful thing, what your coworker said to you.

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Yes, indeed! YAY!

And yeah, that kind surprised me. X-D He is not a librarian. But he works at the school, very closely with the hooligans, so he should know what the school needs. Apparently that is a school librarian like... Me. Who knew? X-D

I get upset when my house is a mess too. I don't understand how men can walk right by things that need to be done and not even seem to see them.

Glad to hear you're healing up better, Emma. All the love to you, peting and Alexandra. :D

Is that a man thing? I wonder... My brother is not like that, but he has been a single father now for a few years, so I guess that's a reason for that. I wonder sometimes though...

And yes I AM healing! And working on getting my leg stronger everyday!

Surprised me with your name change there. :-) Took me a second or two to figure out who you were. :-D
