I went to the orthopedic specialist today to see about my ankle. He met with me less than a minute - seriously! He looked at my foot, asked me to move it up and down, and told me what they were going to do. No surgery, but have a cast with walking shoe for five weeks. Which means I am allowed to walk on it as needed/can which makes me happy. First thing I did when I got home was toss the crutches and tried walking around with just the cane. YES! My arms and chest were sore form the past 2-3 days of using the crutches. The maneuvering around on them was ridiculous. I will need the cane for probably most of the next week, as it is still sore, but afterwards look forward to being able to walk around without much trouble. I will be able to get back into the gym next week, and can continue upper body and ab workouts at least. I know I am going to need it through this holiday season.
Tonight, the Wife found a $50 gift certificate for Outback we received from somewhere so the family is going out to dinner tonight. Just waiting on them to get home. The Daughter took the boys over to her boyfriend's parents' house, to help them put up their tree. Seems his Mom has a bit of that whole 'empty nest' thing going on, and just adores my boys. Heck, everyone seems to adore my kids.
Boys are out of school now until January. Not looking forward to all that fighting/griping/bickering and whining that will be going on.
Time to go.... a blooming onion is calling me!
