Day 51: everybody needs to sleep at night / everybody needs a crutch

[truepenny]

The Mondayness of this Monday is redeemed for me by OK Go's new video for "White Knuckles." Catchy as hell, and, of course, I adore the dogs.

I have an appointment with the physical therapist at the local clinic next Monday--the earliest they could get me in. (I called UW Hospital's PT department to see if by chance they had an earlier opening, which got kind of a hollow laugh from the receptionist. Their earliest is October 12.) In the meantime, I'm practicing my hobbling. Twice up and down the block today, and I didn't even have to collapse on the bed and pant afterwards.

Tonight I'll be starting a prescription for generic Requip, with its rather dreadful laundry list of possible side effects. HOPEFULLY, none of them will pertain and by the end of this week I'll be able to ditch the oxycodone. It's a good plan, anyway.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The dogs were fabulous and there was a token goat!

I hope things with your ankle improve.

My husband is on the generic Requip. His night-kicking is actually localized seizures. The Requip lets him SLEEP and that's such a blessing.
