The big scrape on my shin from Saturday's fall is deep for a scrape, and very red around the edges. I hope that is just the less deep part of the scrape, and not any infection. It's only been a few days and I have cared for it well. Infection is BAD. NO infections. It's not inordinately warm. I'm not being a hypochondriac - I am being smart and cautious.
Once my surgeon and PT and Chiropractor all assured me that it looks like I did NOT damage the hips in the fall, I knew I was OK. I just want to be sure I'm OK, and take very good care of this machine that is my body, even more machine than before ;)
So when you hear me musing/wondering/being concerned about physical issues, that's what it is.
Had a brushup rehearsal - the guitarist was just a pain in the butt all night, and I wanted to smack him... but in the big picture, it's fine.
Another show tomorrow night.
The chilli I made is tasty.
I am tired of being tired... but there's life. I want to do what I love, and it involves getting less sleep. This life I'm getting back - it's good because it's full!
When I got home, I had to park the farthest I've had to in many months - and it was fine. physically, it was no big deal.
I do have a little bit of concern with safety - it's mostly fine in downtown Sacramento - veery nice, in fact... but now and then some scumhose decides to go on a serial mugging spree... so it's important to stay aware - but my street is well-lit and there re people around.
My neighbors were out on their balcony and mentioned how amazingly well I was trucking down the street - he noticed how far I had to park, and was feeling guilty that he parked his new car in front - it was very sweet of him to even think of that! I assured him that I mam fine with a little walk - because everything is physical therapy! I really like my neighbors - very nice people.
Debbie's doing very very well - she's home now, and it took a little adjusting to get the house set up just right, but her daughter let me know she's settling in. I have asked her, when she's feeling up to it if she will write a little guest post here! I hope she will!
OK - I think that's it for tonight. :)
About to go put my feet up for a little bit and hit the hay ASAP.
G'night!
