its been a long time since i last wrote. i sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago and have not felt up to writing.. it was on the day i finally finished the new garden in the front. i was reading the directions for how deep to plant the tulips when i fell down the front cement steps. needless to say i was in alot of pain. i managed to make it back into the house and sit on the couch for a while with my foot up. but then it was back to work to get things cleaned up and start supper. i think i made it worse by doing that but it was not like he was gonna say go sit down and rest your foot. as if. the next day when he left for work and i was stuck upstairs cause that is where the bathroom is, he never offered to bring me a glass of juice, toast , nothing and didnt even give the cat his pill. i had to figure out how to get down the stairs with out killing myself to get something to eat and give the cat his meds or there would be a mess for sure..my gf came over for one day and helped to look after me. it was nice having the company for sure. i went to the hospital that night to make sure i had not broken my ankle, which it turns out i have not. just alot of bruising and pain.
 
week after i fell i was back at the thrift shop , no one knew i fell cept jeff and seems he didnt tell anyone. i got as much done as i could but i was probly pushing it. the major was in this week and was giving me shit about how i put the books on the shelf. next time she says anything i will ask her if she wants my help or not. and if not i will leave and never go back. i dont need another micromanager in my life. who cares how the books are on the shelf as long as they sell.
 
my progress on the reno as slowed as its still hard for me to walk around and move stuff. getting up and down from the floor is hard too. but i am still working on it. the new windows will start on monday so i have to move some plants etc. some days i feel like this will never be done. then i turn around and see how much i have done......

    I am so sorry to hear you have hurt yourself. a couple of years ago I did that, walking out my front door, stepped on hidden ice and my right foot flew out from under me, left landed, under me..hurt like hell, went and worked and entire shift and then went to the ER, thought it was broke.It was "just a sprain" but as the dr said, they can be much more painful than a break and take twice as long to heal. Are you wearing a brace to stabalize it, or atleast wrapping it??
    If I were there, I would bring you a cuppa, or a bit of soup. take care of yourself my friend, I am always listening.
