I'm making progress with my ankle. The top of my foot no longer swells at all. I still need to do soaks, and now my knee on the same leg hurts from the boot. I am bio-freezing the heck out of my knee and putting a epsom salt soaked rag on it when I soak my ankle. My right wrist is getting sore from the constant crocheting (sigh).
Sunday my husband had errands to run, and while he was out, they called and said the wood stove door was done - $150! With tax! Ugh. He however got a good deal on a brand new garden cart at a pawn shop for us (half the price that TSC was selling them at). We will give the old beat up one to a biker friend to scrap.
Hubby was literally gone the entire day, and Daughter K was at her boyfriend's college graduation. During that time, Mom fell again, so I asked my husband to buy her some flowers and check on her. I called, but wanted someone to check on her physically. By the way, Mom has an smart watch now, and when she fell she could call my younger brother on it and they stayed on the phone until she could get back up.
Today I am joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.
I'll link up when she posts.

How I am feeling this morning . . .
Frustrated. My ankle is still swollen, so today it's not just soaks in epsom salts, I'll apply a comfrey poultice.

I sent my husband to the store for cream cheese. If we want cheesy potatoes (I only make 1-2 times a year), we needed it, and the radio said there was a cream cheese shortage right now.
