susandennis | Pillow Fight

Yesterday I had my leg atop a pillow and the ice wrapped in a towel. When I went to bed, I just folded the towel and left it on the pillow. This morning I came into the living room to find Betty ensconced on the towel atop the pillow. Brigitte Lichtenberger-Fenz grabbed the scene this morning off the webcam and sent it to me.

Just now I moved the ottoman and she got off her tuft and I put the towel away. When I turned back around, she was eating breakfast in the kitchen and Travis had commandeered the pillow.

Cats. I'm actually ok with this, because it keeps him off my leg. He is really heavy and prone to plop down on me which is generally ok but if he plops on my leg today he will hear a screech. As long as he is on the pillow, my leg is safe.

It is better today - a lot. It's still really painful and if I move it wrong, I want to end it all now but it is way better than yesterday. I was really worried it would keep me up or wake me up last night and/or I would not be able to get out of bed to pee. I worried needlessly. I slept really well and it did not bother me a bit and if I am careful, I can get up and down without pain. So I think I'm going to live.

I am not going to the gym. I'll do me some crunches here but I'm going to baby this leg for a couple of days.

There is one spot - rather large spot actually - about a 3 inch circle - just below my knee that is totally numb. It was numb and swollen after fall #1 and it was getting better. It is not as swollen now but still, if you want to stick a pin in me, you could do it there and I'd never know it. It's weird.

My ankle is blue and a little swollen but not much and it does not hurt at all.

So I think there's a chance I will live.
