Can't help but laugh

I think my insanely quiet blog needs something insanely random....ta daaa...

This is pretty much my worst nightmare but throw in a lion king reference and it's got me laughing.

So life update...
1) My moon boot is off today...hurrah.  It's now been exactly two months after my accident.  I'm meant to be putting full weight onto my foot but that aint going to happen.  It's still crazy stiff.  In four weeks im hoping I'm driving again, that's my goal :) I'm working on it.  Who would of thought this walking thing would be so difficult? Gosh I'm typing but getting distracted by that gif :P

2) Ben is back on Friday and that is super amazing, I've got a Ben countdown calendar and I'm crossing off each day.  For the two weeks he is back from his job, I'm going back up the coast to live/holiday at his house and then I'll see where life takes me after that.  Hopefully not bungee jumping!

Moon Boot

So who knows what a moon boot is? I didn't until a few hours ago. My cast is off hurray! But unfortunately I've been strapped up into something very cast like and much heavier! So my realistic expectations pretty much came true. My cast definitely came off but I wasn't able to instantly walk, actually I couldn't move my foot at all once it was free from the cast...a mental thing, or physical..probably both! I'm allowed for the first two weeks to put a quarter of my weight on my useless foot but I'm still bound to my crutches and stiff in my moon boot. The real bad news came when I asked how long until I'm driving again...six weeks *gasp*. Six weeks seems to be the magic number and when I'm booked back into the hospital for, what I'm hoping is, my final checkup. The doctor said she hopes to see me, coming in on crutches, with no pain than walking in without out them in pain. *sigh*. I guess me and my crutches still have some time together.

The good news is that the moon boot is removable, so I can finally wash my foot and shave my very hairy leg! He he.

Oh and the Brisbane cast nurses totally paid out my cute Nambour cast man! How dare they, I tried to stick up for him! They used my cast as an example of what not to do and got all the nurses around to inspect. Apparently I got too much padding which made it difficult to get the cast off but hey it made my cast experience a dream. I told them my cast was super comfy and never gave me pain! They were also dubious of the glitter and asked if I had put it on myself. Apparently glitter is a rarity in the public hospital sector...score! I have to say despite there questioning of my amazing glitter cast, the Royal Brisbane Hospital has been a dream, super nice staff, quick waiting time and amazing help. I even got wheelchair escorted today!
