Photos From the Couch
[Photos taken on 27 January, posted on 27 January 2016. Good sign?]
I got Finnur to hand me the big camera, and took a few photos from my permanent position on the couch. Yes, I’m booooored! Only 8 more weeks until I can fully step on my foot.
Yesterday morning I went to the hospital and the nurse removed all the sutures. I took before photos (nothing much has changed), but she didn’t want me to photograph her working, and then the doctor came to chat, so I have no photos of a suture-free foot.
Instead, I now have a “walking cast”, meaning I’m allowed to put the foot down, but not put pressure on it. Four weeks from now the cast will be removed, and then I will be allowed to put my foot down a little, but not fully. Apparently there’s a screw in there which I can break if I’m not careful, and if it breaks, they can’t fully remove it. Oh joy!
But yes, photos from the couch. Here you go! (16 images total)

My new cast, with detachable sole.

My view for the next few weeks.

This cast is of the plastic/fiberglass variety.

A bowl.

Finnur bemused.

My crutches. Grrr…

Emma!

More Emma.

Excited Emma.

Anna showing me…

… her elaborately taped up knee. She’s been going to physio for a few weeks to help with various foot issues. She’s a walking injury-attractor!

Bjarki putting his gymnastics clothes on. He still goes three times a week for an hour and a half. We think it’s doing him good, and he seems to enjoy it.

Computer time.

Ready for gym, but first, a few minutes on the computer.
