Today, a Sunday, I got my MRI. I shall soon know exactly how much damage a trampoline can do. I am hoping that it’s healing so well right now that I won’t have to have surgery, however, I don’t know if I will need it or not. I should know tomorrow what the results are, so there is something good.

I feel like I have been a lot more helpful this last week, though I also notice how quickly my one leg will get sore and need to take a break. I washed the dishes, and I put away groceries, sort of. Today, Kelsie is helping me do my hair. I have been saying it needed to be done for the last month, but I am done putting it off.

Not a whole lot going on right now. Being down has the disadvantages that I have written about so many times in the last three years. UGH!! I’m needing to pay attention to my limitations. I also need to stretch and warm up before going for runs as well. I also have time now to do some very needed things. Like figure out the stuff I need to do for my business. I have been watching videos of how to’s, but, I am not so great in this yet. It takes time and right now, I have enough to learn and do a few things. What things, you may be wondering. Computer animation stuff. I think next semester, I shall find a class and see what I can learn about it all. So many things I have learned by doing, but there is a great deal more I could learn that would be helpful. I needed to work on this regularly for the last 5 months, but, I have found lots of excuses and now I have run dry and the work is starting to come along. I will be doing a great deal of learning how to edit videos and make thing work, but, I’m not that great just yet. More work to come one it.

I have also noticed that I haven’t been doing a lot of shopping since I’m on crutches and I can’t always think that there will be a wheelchair that I can use. There are plenty who need them, so, I have opted to let Thomas go and do that. I miss going out and just being together and having fun playing around town. It’s a blip of time, so I’m not going to be too upset. This won’t last forever at all. I know that I am just a bit impatient and am so used to the instant gratification thing. I can wait. Like I said, there are other things that I need to work on. I had hoped to get Kelsie’s skirt done long ago, but now, I don’t when that will get worked on again. I can do a lot of things, but there are things that require a lot more energy than normal and sewing is one of those things right now.

Fast Forward three days:

I got the results of the MRI today and it’s not that great. I will have to have surgery, and if you read the last post you will notice that I have already made mention of that. That is because I thought I was writing in this post and doing an edit on the last one. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Now, as I wait for everything else to happen, I am down. Like physically, not mentally. I’m sitting here, watching a sitcom? in Russian subtitles. The talk about the Great Patriotic War – also known as WWII – and it’s quite interesting. Seems it a series, but I can’t gather if it’s supposed to be funny or not. The men on it were arguing about who lived in a more green and beautiful place where the air has a different smell. Interesting so far, but it’s only been a few minutes.

Time to get working. But I’m thinking that I’m going to get set up for some ice therapy first. My knee is killing me right now.

And yet another 3 days…

Well I did put three hours on my project today and I feel like I’ve made more progress using the app iMovie in three hours than what I did the whole of the last time. Maybe I’m just ready to dive into it. Either way I very much enjoyed it. I have the first part done and now for the hard part that I’m still learning but I think k this will work.

Got to go today. I mean more than the hospital and work and sitting in the car while Thomas does something. I got to go buy flower today. It was nice. To be outside and feel the sprinklings as the end of summer is here… and now Fall will take its place. ❤️❤️❤️

Time to run the computer until the battery dies. I feeling pretty good. I’m bummed Thomas feels so poorly. Hope his nap helps.
