Back at work after a 3- day weekend. 

Here’s a bulleted update of the weekend’s  GOOD stuff:

• Friday & Saturday, I walked with one crutch with the boot. 
• I went to a birthday party for a good friend Friday night.
• Saturday I drove myself to my hair appt and then bought socks at Olympia Sports (had a $10 gift card to use)
• Saturday night we went to the movies – If you haven’t seen Hugo, you must! It was 3D, took place in Paris and had a lot of messages in the story. Go see it!
  

  Love this view from the train station!

• Sunday am, the hubby & I went wheelchair grocery shopping – not fun but necessary
• Sunday afternoon, I got in my car and just drove (It was a beautiful sunny day and you know what I wanted to be doing) and ended up in Bolton Landing. I couldn’t do much when I got there so I sat on the beach and then had a root beer float which made me feel better for the moment.

Can you believe that it is 40 degrees in February?

• Monday, my hubby went to work so I had the whole day to myself (and you know what I wanted to be doing).  But I did some knitting and cooking and cleaning.
  

  my lst sock so far but I haven't got to the hard part.

• Monday afternoon I went to see my mentee Amandaand we went out to iHOP for lunch (did not eat healthy!).  We chatted for seveal hours catching up.
  

  Amanda & Matthew (who is almost 5 mos)

• Last night, I had to listen to a webinar as part on my training to work at the NYS Bar Exam next week.

Now the Bad:

My independence got the best of me.  I walked on my boot Friday & Saturday.  By the end of the movie Sat nite, not having my foot elevated all day made so swollen that I could no longer put weight on it.  It was painful all day Sunday & Monday. Not fun at all.

I was planning on stopping at the outlets in Lake George on Sunday but I couldn’t walk with one crutch 😦  So sad.

Last night I woke up with my ankle throbbing!  Ouch!

Today, I drove myself to work and it feels much better. 

Back to baby steps! 

I am keeping my leg elevated when I can and I am using my crutch for support. This walking thing is harder than I thought.

Tomorrow I start PT…pretty scary trying to fit my FAT ankle into some kind of sneaker…

Happy Running! Did you enjoy your long weekend?
