Encouraging...

susandennisI kept my leg elevated all afternoon - my foot and Travis shared a pillow - there's some bonding for you. I think I got up to pee once.
Finally at 5, I got up and made some dinner and at it and realized that my leg was not killing me. Actually, it was hardly hurting at all. I walked around the condo for a while - the same walk that was excruciating this morning... no problem. So I gathered up some garbage and walked down to the dumpsters. Down the stairs. There were a couple of twinges but really, it was amazing and so encouraging.
It's back on the pillow now with Travis and wrapped in ice. Oh how much I would love it if it would just heal up. If it feels like this or better tomorrow, I may give it a spin around the block.

Not a whole lot new otherwise. Work was good. It looks like the week is going to be busy. I'm only working through Thursday.
Friday a.m. early squirrely![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
machupicchu and I are going to hop a train to Canada. Vancouver. We didn't plan it this way but it's mighty handy that we'll be out of the country when the End of The World comes. We don't have a big agenda (at least not that I know of). I need to go to Tim Horton's because I have never been and it is kind of embarrassing to be a virgin at my age. Matthew wants to eat dinner at the top of Empire (where we are staying) on Friday. Our train home leaves for home Saturday early evening. Should be great fun.

I just called Sprint to find out about making calls and checking email in Canada. Their website was a bit confusing but the customer service rep I got was not much better. I have no great complaints about Sprint - their customer service is pretty lame most of the time but then I rarely need it. BUT one bitch I do have is that every single time you talk to any one at Sprint - face to face or on the phone, when you are done they either demand to know if you will give them high marks on their survey or explain the ramifications if you don't. It is tacky, and stupid. I totally get that it is not the fault of the customer service people - it is a very ugly corporate initiative. I always lie and tell them that I will give them the highest marks and then I ignore the survey.

The Mariners game will not be rained out tonight. Unless the roof breaks.

And that's what I know as of right this minute.
