I hate when you're told the awful burning sensation you're feeling in your injured appendage is normal. As I was told today, the "break" is healing nicely, but the sprains of all the other stuff needs time and rehab. So the boot is here to stay for another 3-4 weeks.
The good thing, I was able to get up and down the stairs today relatively easy. Which is good, since Friday I start physical therapy for my poor little ankle. Well, not so little since I am still experiencing the awful burning sensation and it is still pretty swollen.
I still can't sit for any length of time in a normal feet on the floor position, but am assure that keeping my foot elevated is good for the swelling anyway. It will be really nice for the weather to warm a bit so I can get some fresh air again. I never did deal with cabin fever well!

Monday Moanin' - Now We're Cooking!
DH learned how to make a meal in the crock pot the other day. He made a pot roast which turned out oh-so-good!
He's talking spaghetti next. One issue. We have a new stove, an induction model. I only had a chance to use it a couple times and had planned on making spaghetti the day I fell and broke my ankle. Since I can't instruct him on its use, I told him that was on hold. I think I'll have to come up with some ideas for other crock pot meals.

Sympathy Saturday - Margaret Archbald Oliphant
On March 1, 1808 in Kelso, Roxburghshire, Scotland, Margaret Archbald (or Archibald) Oliphant, wife of Ralph Oliphant, died. She was born about 1782 in Marlefield, Roxburghshire. She was my great-great-great-great grandmother.
