I got the wardrobe…..
This morning, rather early (for me and Doug, that is) I went to the hospital Cast Room and got the staples removed from the incisions, an x-ray taken to check on healing and then got outfitted with a ‘moon boot’. Didn’t ask how much the boot cost – didn’t want to know. :} I’ll wait til the bill arrives in the mail…..
No I can’t put any weight on my foot yet. Another 3 weeks before I can even think about putting maybe half my weight on it.
But the boot is removeable and I’m to start doing gentle physiotherapy – mostly stretching and flexing the foot in order to keep the ankle muscles limber – as well as some gentle massage. And to let the incisions heal in the air.
Doug is about ready to start loading the van – just waiting on a few more items to pack up. I’ve woven some on the rigid heddle demonstrator loom so he can now package that up for transport, too.
I ventured down the stairs to the studio yesterday (bum bump, bum bump) and finished threading the last 2 inches on the AVL, then started sleying, but I can see that it’s going to be a few more days before I can contemplate weaving. I’ll aim for when Doug returns next week. 🙂
In the meantime I finished hemming a dozen placemats and a table runner, and have a stack of tea towels to do yet.
I’ll get Doug to dig that stack of Terry Pratchett’s Disc World books that I haven’t yet read out of the guest room. That should keep me well occupied while he’s away.
