I went back to work for a half day on Monday, because I had a doctor's appointment in the afternoon. Matt was great, drove me to work, picked me up from work, drove me to the hospital and drove me home, even made sure I ate some!... Matt is great.
Yesterday however, was very hard. I had to bus to work, which makes you think twice about all the rude people in the world... People who look at you struggling to get on the bus, and shove past you- almost knocking you over, just to get on before you. People who watch you struggle to pick something off the groud, trying to hold onto your crutches, and just watch- don't help you pick up your bus tickets- or whatever you may have dropped. This actually happened yesterday. My leg was across the two seats I was sitting on- because no one would get up and give my the priority seating- fine. So because of my splint. I can't my leg, so I can't sit forward in the seats, so i sat across to, with my leg across the seats, because thats the only way I could sit and fit in. I had my beg in my lap aswell. This lady, actually came to my seat and starred at me for about 5 seconds and said... "well, is this seat taken?".... I had to take a deep breath before I replied to her- because I wanted to slap her across the face. I just said..."sorry, there is nothing I can do, because I am not standing....".... I guess people are that stupid.
Its pretty hard getting around my apartment, getting juice and eating is the hardest, because unless I want to stand and eat on at my counter, it can't be done. And the worst feeling came yesterday. My sock was wet because it was raining when I came home. So my foot was wet and freezing, except, there was nothing I can do, because I can't bed my knee to get to my foot... until Val came home- but really...its hard to not to be able to do the simple things- esp. things like put on socks.
At work my knee is sore and I can't stop doing work- I also can't rely on percocets during the day, or else I will fall asleep at my job!

Despite all the shittyness of this situation... Playing soccer again will be heaven, and that is what is getting me through it all...
Its worse now... but each day is one day closer to the end.
