MRI is done

I suffered through the MRI this morning, slightly stoned from the valium. I just stared blankly at the ceiling, wondering if anyone has really ever counted all of those little holes before. It was a very small dose of valium--I can only imagine how crazy my thoughts would have been if he had given me a bigger dose!


My right ankle really hurts today--I don't know if this is from being pinned in the thing for the MRI or just because there is something wrong with it. I guess I'll find out on Monday. I'm going to have to find something to take my mind off of the waiting.


My left ankle actually hurts less than the right one today...weird. It's almost always the other way around, but I guess this means I'm making progress.

My "gym in a bag" was delivered the other day. Amazon has become my best friend since surgery! The "gym" is basically a bunch of resistance bands, weights, and a DVD. I think I might try to start doing some upper body work soon and perhaps some light stretching with my left leg. I feel like a total blob and have zero stamina anymore.


I still haven't gone out yet to buy the marbles. Why marbles, you say? Have I finally lost all of mine? Very funny. They're actually for PT. I'm supposed to throw a bunch of them on the floor and try to pick them up with my toes and put them into a jar or a bowl. This is supposed to get the muscles of the foot moving again. I haven't technically been cleared to start this yet, but I'm not sure it can really hurt to pick up marbles. I just have to go get them first!

That's it for now. Keep thinking "just a sprain" for me and keep those fingers tightly crossed!
