2nd & 3rd Week

The first part of the 2nd week I was home alone during the days the whole week. I got into a routine of sleeping in, taking my sponge bath, fixing myself some oatmeal for breakfast. Then sitting up on the couch to play some Wii. This was mainly to get me up and moving arms around some. After the sponge bath and kitchen work, my left leg got pretty tired. All that was standing on one leg. I had a chair moved into the laundry room so I could sit down to put on my underwear and pants.

I went back to work Jan 12th. A co-worker lives kind of near me so she would come pick me up every morning and take me home most days. This was a god send. It was 3 miles out of her way but she was the closest person to me. That first day I took in a sleeping bag, pad, and plenty of pillows. I could lie down if I got tired, and I did at first. I got situated at work sitting in my computer chair with my legs propped up in pillows in another chair. I could type at my computer. It's a little ways to the bathroom and elevator for leaving and coming.

I worked for two weeks before I got my cast on the 19th. I would use my boot to get to and from work but once at work, I'd remove it. It was much more comfortable without the boot and I could exercise my ankle.

My co-w0rkers and others around my office were helpful in offering assistance.
