Friends Only

Two days ago I made a coin 'appear' out of my cousin Caleb's ear. He then cheerfully asked me if I could pretend to materialise a coin out of his arse. Kids are strange, but it made me laugh more than it probably should have... And then I did it and he laughed for two hours straight. Hey, whatever works, right?!

It's been ten weeks since I was injured and so on Monday I'm going in to meet with a physical therapist. Then I'll be learning to walk with crutches because my right leg should be healed up and they said they can put a walking cast on my other leg for another 3 or so weeks. I've been warned it's going to hurt. Yippee. I'm just thrilled I'll be able to get out of this stupid wheelchair. And, hopefully, back to contributing to the world somehow. I want to go back to work.

I'm plugging along. I'm getting there. It's all going to be okay.

Oh goodness. Of course he did. That's my boy!

I'm so glad you're healing well, Noah. If you stretch every day the physical therapy hurts less. They'll tell you that as well, but I remember when they told me I felt like a petulant child and didn't want to listen. Because I'm mature, you see. After awhile I took their advice and they were right. This way you don't have to have a petulant moment! Unless you feel like it.

He's a good boy!

Ah, I'll keep that in mind. I have been known to do that petulant child thing. I'm sure Dad has many stories... But nowadays, usually only in regards to my step-father. And I'm working on cutting that out so hopefully I can keep it out of my physical therapy too.

That he is.

You're doing better than I am then. We all have our moments.

[hereprophetslie.livejournal.com]

That's for sure!

Yaaaaaay.

Am too tired for coherent comments.

But yaaay legs.

I wish I could help! I'll be more able to help when I can use my legs but still not able to carry anything.

I'm so sorry I'm semi-useless right now.

Back to work? You mean you're not enjoying the dream lifestyle of slacker in your dad's house? I've been enjoying your inability to escape me in a very Misery sort of way.

I took up magic tricks in a bid to keep my sanity. I don't know who's dream lifestyle this is, but wow they must be boring.

If you hobble me to keep me here, I'm calling some kind of hotline!

I'm glad you're more productive than that. I don't want you living on my couch at forty watching daytime TV. As fond of you as I am.

You'll have to get the phone first. That would be wise.

You know you'd be there with me. We could watch Tyra, Dad.

I'll stash my mobile somewhere you won't think to look. I think so too.
