Busy!

busy weekend—starting with a busy Friday (meeting with little H’s speech-language pathologist, frantic housecleaning, guest arriving for weekend visit, and home visit from the school board deaf/hard-of-hearing coordinator, shopping for birthday present), through a busy Saturday (more housework, grocery shopping, cooking, lunch guest) to an unexpectedly busy saturday (6 loads of laundry—which meant going up and down stairs from the 2nd floor to basement, helping mother-in-law pack up her house she just sold). Yikes!

Managed to get a whopping 1800+ calories on Saturday due to choux pastry gnocchi with lots of cheese and chocolate cake with salted caramel frosting. Successfully ate a small amount of salad (the croissant I tried on Friday did not work so well however). Sunday was the most tiring of all, especially since we were expecting it to be a day of rest and recuperation, and we ended the day with dinner at the pub where I successfully ate the chunks of ham in my pasta carbonara (the first time I’ve been able)! My pre-molars are pretty sore—I guess because they’ve got the most movement and least support. It kind of breaks my heart that I am just starting to get used to eating 7 weeks in, and I’m going to the ortho next Tuesday so the suffering will start again. Boo.

In other news, I was at the fracture clinic this morning and the doctor thinks i should be able to start putting weight on my foot. he wants me to not wear the aircast at all when I am at home, and wear it only as necessary when I’m out and about. I’m wearing it now, because I didn’t bring a second shoe! Maybe I’ll wear my old sneakers tomorrow and bring the aircast with me. Or the other way around—I would not want to have a fall in the parkinglot stairwell!
