Missing My Legs



Guess that goes for this ball as well - I think it sits there as long at least as we live here...

Whew, been to the doc again.
The taxi driver was highly aggressive, driving too fast, honking...

The waiting room was rather full again.
A couple was talking loud, making it difficult to read a book. Weird, I mean isn´t it an unwritten law to keep your voice down in places like this?

A woman kept staring at me openly until...
A couple came in. The man took place to the left of the staring gal, the woman to the right and instead of saying good morning he said to her, "thanks for taking me here!!" in an angry voice. The woman, as angry, told him it wasn´t her fault - and then both started to backbite about her partner who was the one forgetting to take this man, or couple, to the doc.
How stupid that guy is, that she doesn´t remind him anymore about the things he´s supposed to do and so on. Loud. The man said, "oh, yes, I sure do will tell him off myself!!" more than once.
At one point the man - and it took him way too long to come up with it - asked why she stays with that guy if he´s such a pain?
Well, she wants to give him another chance.

Guess everyone was relieved when that staring gal finally was collected.
By the guy they talked about. Who said, "I´m sorry, really" to that man.
And what happened? Did he tell him off?
Certainly he didn´t dare, big surprise. He just murmured a grumpy, "yeah, sure".

And guess what? The moment they were out of the room he loudly as ever said to the woman who came in with him, "yeah, they do stick together, they know how to get the most money from the state. But what do you expect, they both went to special school" and so on.

The look on his face was funny, when the "bad guy" came back in and said sorry once more - both had had to wait outside for a receipe.
Now who went to a special school?

The woman who did the x-ray was in a lot of stress, yet friendly and funny, a refreshing change of scene!

Later the doc had another close look at the result and said the bone heals well.
But the foot is still blue and swollen. And hurts.
If I still have enough pain killers? I told him I don´t take them, he just shrugged, "ok".
Ummm???
At first I was considering telling him I feel depressed, but didn´t.
Actually I don´t wanna start with happy pills.
But now I understand my Mum and Bro much better.

I simply wait till my legs aka Ingo come back. Wait for a hug, guess that´ll help better.

Cause...



"My legs" found out why the thrombosis shots hurt so bad - it was the alcoholic swab!
Now he uses a disinfectant you need for... we´re Germans, right? ... brewing beer.
I still get black and blue marks, but it hurts way less, like 95%!

I found a way to sit straight at the pc - "my legs" not only found the right furniture - they took care I don´t get cold:



A thick piece of styrofoam :-)

Who wouldn´t miss "legs" like those?

Aw, it´s such a sunny day today. So sad I can´t go to the city. Sunny, 9C, no snow.
Am I glad this foot will be ok soon!
