Climb Every Mountain, Ford Every Stream

Look at how much better my foot is!

The joys of having a Scout for a Husband. Leg in a tight bandage and a sling, and a bag of frozen peas, and my broken leg is better in two days.

Bear Grylls has nothing on my man; Although I don't know why I was required to wear a gag for one hour every two.. said it would speed my recovery.

Yesterday I balanced my leg prettily on top of a box which had been delivered for me, and was tidily away under my desk.

Today, after lunch, I decided that removing the bandage may give me feeling back in my toe. When I did, I was completely amazed to watch the front of my foot swell up, just below my toes, I actually thought it might burst.

I considered the information I had been fed over the last couple of days, and then remembered that Mo said "Injury above heart".

So I put my foot on the table, lowered the chair, and maneuvered my way around my desk like that for the rest of the afternoon.

And look - it worked. Swelling decreased sufficiently for my toes to be comfortable. They were getting squished an hour before.
