The Prodigal Rolling Pin in Everyday Ramblings

So here I am five days out from the fall and still very much dealing with the injury. It is way better. The intense overwhelming pain is gone, at least mostly. I felt a touch of it this morning when Most Honorable found a parking spot a block away from the library and I got out of the car and walked down to drop off my books that were due back. He offered to do that, but no I was stubborn. La la la, no problem.

After the library he took me to the grocery store and I actually let him bend down and get things off the bottom shelf for me. I was chuffed because I could push the cart with out pain and he was chuffed because my grocery had the ultra soft tissue they like.

We figured out a way to replace the straps on his snowshoes and made a tentative date to (just the two of us) go up to the mountain and try snowshoeing on groomed trails so I can practice before I try a group outing. We learned a lot about the mechanics of snowshoes there in our brief exploration.

I am so darn proud and independent it was hard for me to accept his offer to come up and be helpful today.

And yes, I ordered a stepladder with nonslip rails just like the doctor suggested and I had him take the mixing bowls down from on top of the cupboards.

I also asked if he were willing to look a couple more places for the missing rolling pin. I found the missing big blade for my food processor a couple of days ago. He found the culprit in the first place he looked!

Otherwise I have been resting and reading and listening to podcasts and doing my chores very gingerly.

Besides my continuing gratitude about not having been hurt worse than I was, and gratitude for my family that have been so supportive I am grateful I am no longer working so I didn’t need to make the agonizing decision about working when it hurts.

Monday is a holiday here and the church will be closed. I can sit cross legged on the floor now so if all goes well I will be able to return to regularly scheduled programing by next Wednesday.

Oh the things we take for granted!
