An Escape! Or, Day 7 Home.

It's now been 10 days since the surgery!

The incision is looking good; only a couple of drips from the bottom sometimes. The bruises on the back of my calf are turning that lovely yellow shade, very visible in the sunlight. MY PT person took me outside this morning to see how I would do on uneven ground and I was just fine.

After [personal profile] dremiel  came by with amazing veggie empanadas, bean salad, and watermelon (and teeny biscotti!), my friend L picked me up and we went to the International Gem & Jewelry Show downtown. After some adventures in parking in downtown Austin, we were right next to the entrance closest to the show (I called the convention center to find out). Went to the 2 vendors I was there to see--my cabochon dealer and a local findings vendor--with a side trip to one with good looking copper stampings that I may add to my gear earrings. In and out in about 40 minutes, which is something of a record for me!  Hit Schlotzskys on the way back and now I have my knee up with a cold pack on it. Will get on the CPM in a few minutes and catch up on my Pratchett (Tiffany Aching rules).

My friends have made this whole process bearable. [personal profile] dremiel , [personal profile] tx_cronopio (om nom nom nom thank you!). L, G (for doing my laundry!), [personal profile] tsarina . [personal profile] tehomet , for the card! My amazing sister-in-law. Even my goober cats.

I'm getting better and better every day. Thank you for all of your support!

I'm so glad that you are doing so well. :) Can't believe you've only been out of the hospital just over a week and you're already back doing business and seeing contacts. \o/ You are one tough cookie!
