i woke up like this. [photos]

01/12/2015

i'm still laid up from my ankle. still non-weight-bearing. still at my mom's. still bored as shit. still thankful, because it could have been worse.
i had a doctor's appointment last week where they took out my staples (14 of them! i had no idea) and moved me from plaster and bandages into an aircast. i still can't use my leg, but at least i can take the cast off to wash and check on my incision, which seems to be healing nicely. i got back in 2 weeks for another follow-up.
insurance has officially declared my car a total loss (which surprised no one) but haven't yet given me a number for my settlement. i'm hoping for 15k, tho i'm guessing they'll offer less. i'm hoping to have that money soon so we can buy a new car. the small silver lining to this is that i can get a new vehicle with all wheel drive. when we bought our last car we were living in toronto and front wheel drive was fine, but after moving up here, we wished we had an all wheel option. now we will.
so now i'll post a bunch of photos that some people might find gross. feel free to look away.


[i took this xray of my own damn ankle. this was the night of the accident.]


[xrays taken this week, in my cast. lovely couple of screws in there.]
