Immobile

Being a mom of two on the go - go - go boys, it is very hard and very frustrating not being able to get around easily right now.  To add to my foot injury, my knee is now out from being in a bent position so much (from walking with crutches or elevated while sleeping).  Tonight I am in a lot more pain than I was last night.  So much for progress.  Tomorrow I return to work.  I am a bit wary on how this will go, as 99.99% of my day is spent up and walking...usually at a very fast pace.  And carrying items.  All of which I will be incapable of doing while on crutches.  I am hoping that I will be at least on both feet, albeit hobbling probably, by Monday.  This crutches business is for the birds!  I truly don't know how I did this so much as a kid/teenager.  Sheesh.  Of course, I guess I could just use the excuse I was a lot younger and not a parent.  I do know that if this ever happens again, I will be asking for the walking boot or whatever such thing would be available at the time.  I need time off my foot, I know, but now this is just tedious and hard with the boys...making meals, wrangling for bed times or getting out of the house, etc. I need something just a tad easier currently.  Of course, I know this would be different a bit if my husband was able to be home with us.  But then in the end, lets hope I don't do this again.  I really could go the rest of my life without crutches or intense injuries to my feet anymore.  I've had more than my fair share.
