Talking about comfort and coziness...

My mum made a treat for me this evening. Strawberries on beschuit (kind of like rusks) with butter and a sprinkling of sugar, a bowl of strawberries, and a big cuppa tea to enjoy after a nice hot shower. I curled up in bed to watch a movie and enjoy the food =) So not only am I squeaky clean tonight, but also going to bed extremely well fed.

Yummy!

Despite the limited mobility that missing a chunk of your tibia brings (aka sit on my butt on the couch all day), I have been losing weight over the last few weeks. It is difficult to figure out how much because of the cast and holding onto my crutches to keep my balance while standing on the scale, but I'm I think have lost 6-7 pound in the month since surgery (four weeks today). I'm never really that hungry anymore.

I have also been pretty tired the last few weeks. I was hoping it would get better the farther out from surgery I got, but that hasn't really happened yet. The following has become a routine conversation between my mum and I at the kitchen table:

Mum: Are you tired?

Me: Yeah, exhuasted. Can you tell?

Mum: Yes, you look really tired.

Not too much has been going on since I lasted posted. I started reading some books (purging my bookcase!); the embroidery project I keep mentioning but never end up blogging about is moving along steadily; going out with my best friend for dinner tomorrow night.

Other than that I am just waiting for the next surgery. Just dreaming of the day I will have my new tibia =)
