longest week of my life

sorry we are so uneventful around here.

but when your leg looks like this:
(bruising extends down to front of tibia and around the back of the leg)

all you do is this:

our house is full of encouraging words,
examples include:

"why are you so grumpy?"
(well, my leg HURTS!)

"wow, it looks like you spilled a bottle of ink on your leg"

"your leg is ugly"

nothing like a bit of encouragement to hurry the healing.
it's taken me all week to get to
1) 90 degrees of bending
2) not as noticeable limp
3) able to sort of sleep again
4) wear pants w/out noticeable swelling (ie wide leg dress pants no longer get stuck around my thigh)

onward to the longest weekend of my life
