on hold

One might think that I have put the whole blog on hold but really, it has only moved down in priority on the list of "the things I need to do before my surgery on Monday".

I did go out last Saturday with Davey for one last "play-day". I was a good girl and did not take my skateboard. I put it on hold. I can't afford to get injured before Monday. I abandoned my skateboarding shoes (as well as board and helmet) and opted to wear my cool yet clunky 3" fat-heel boots. "Not so smart", I thought as I went sliding down 5 stairs in a major department store in downtown Portland. I went down all of them on my knees and shins before I managed to get my legs back under me and attempt to walk out the nearest door whispering "I'm fiiiiine" with clenched teeth and a slight limp.

So I was unable to walk or sleep that first night and worried whether this newly injured leg would support my weight after I get the right one operated on. Thankfully after some swelling and ugly bruising, I am now able to walk without much pain and my bruises are slowly starting to heal.
That was 5 days ago.

Despite my tumble, I think I managed to get some neat photos that day....clunky heels or not.
