Just call me Hopalong!

I've spent the last 4 days getting used to a new form of transport.... crutches.
It's only minor surgery and looks more impressive than it really is, but it's very painful!

So I'm grounded for a while but I'll soon be on both feet again. Today it's back to the hospital to have the dressing changed and a walking boot put on.

Meanwhile I've got lots to amuse me.

Plus blogging, of course.

  1. I still have a pair of crutches here in case you need a spare pair ;)

    I hope that you recover quickly!

  2. So sorry. There is nothing worse than a sore foot and operated on sore feet are worse than all. I hope it gets better soon.

    Thanks too for stopping at my place.

  6. Let's try again. Just deleted my last comment as it didn't make sense!
    Your foot looks very impressive. Hope you are being spoilt rotten and being given lots of lovely treats.
    I think I broke a toe this evening through sheer carelessness! It is swollen, bent and cannot be touched without screaming.
    Hope you find you old books. They are wonderful to read through. A book I found tonight had inscribed
    in the fly leaf "to Gertrude Mary Inman from her teacher 1896". That was my grandmother who died just before I was born. It is so nice to have something so personal that belonged to her.
    You never know what you will find if you start looking!

  9. My sympathy....foot surgery is painful. Do not use those needles to scratch an itchy foot....read, have the Space Cadet rub your back and bring you tea.

  14. So sorry to hear about your foot. I hope you can get some rest and catch up on some reading.

    THanks for visiting NYC Daily Photo eventhough I'm not posting regularly.

  15. Wishing you a speedy recovery. How inconvenient to be laid up in the summer. I am sure you have lots of TLC coming your way.

  16. OH NO! So sorry for the slow-down, Ex-S. However, sometimes the Universe brings them to us because we need them. So, totally enjoy the time to rest, read, knit, and be pampered!!! And do just as the doctor says. :)
