Saturday visit

[cjsmith]

Saturday afternoon rampling came over to visit me. This meant that for the first time in about a day I had to wear more than a T-shirt (hey, YOU try dealing with a bathroom with no good feet). I also managed to take my first adventurous shower before she got there.

When she arrived, she had wondrous things! She had a quad-cane! She had a WALKER! And she had... a whole basket full of CHEEEEEEEESE!

Gleefully we opened up the cheese and sampled it. The Petit Basque was completely gone by the end of our visit! MAN THAT STUFF IS GOOD! I shared bits of the chocolate indyansel sent, and Moonstruck Chocolate now has another fan. I also tried out the walker -- heaven, oh heaven, after trying to maintain stability on crutches -- and demonstrated some of my sillier ways of getting around the house. The quad-cane turned out to be absolutely perfect for stairs, as it simulated a second railing I could grab. I have these things on long-term loan and I believe they're what I should have had from the beginning. Crutches! Fah.

We commiserated about medical schtuff and we scritched kitties for a couple of hours. She was my first visitor from the outside world, and that contact is probably a big reason I wasn't on LJ so obsessively for that evening and the next day. :-)

My friends have been SO good to me.

Yeah, a lot of meds, particularly for pain, don't seem to go too well with alcohol.

Which is too bad, 'cause alcohol is a great muscle relaxant and thus helps certain sources of pain. But oh well. I'm being a VERY good girl with this foot thing, following all the rules and doing everything right, so that... um ...things heal well? ...I get a halo? Something. :-)

*grin* Feel free to use that if you like, BTW. I couldn't resist. I was working in Photoshop anyway, and it took me less than a minute.

Her actual halo's a little tarnished. :)

Tarnishing it in the pic wouldn't be too difficult, either. ;-)

Shh, don't tell!
