So, I have been down with a cold since Monday and today is the first day that I have felt semi-human. My husband came home from work last Friday feeling cruddy and he obviously passed it on to me--gee thanks honey. Sleeping on the couch is getting old. I am hoping that both my hubby and I feel well enough to sleep in the same room tonight.
On the bright side though, is the fact that I have actually been losing weight this week. I don't even know why. It is encouraging. I am hoping to see a 15 pound loss tomorrow at Weight Watchers. I would be so happy.
Tomorrow is one week since the doctor put me on crutches. I am acutely aware of what life with a physical challenge is like. Everything is affected--grocery shopping, driving, parking lots, "walking". I am learning how to use the electric carts at the store (boy do I get some looks too--looks like "why the heck are YOU using THAT"). It is interesting to say the least. I must say that I have a better understanding of the difficulties faced everyday by people with long-term or lifetime challenges. It sucks. I am amazed at the lack of awareness in some stores. Displays placed so close together that it is nearly impossible for a person in an electric cart to get close to displays to look at clothing or shoes or just about anything. It's sad really.
Here's to hoping that I reach my 15 lb milestone.
