I admit that today, after 7 weeks & 2 days, I got the hard cast off.
I admit underneath it, the skin on my foot and ankle was shedding like I had leprosy.
I admit I have the removable walking cast now.
I admit that although Doc originally said 8 wks before putting weight on foot, he's added another four weeks, so I must continue to keep off it until the 12th week.
I admit I've been incredibly careful not to put even an ounce of weight on that leg, as I can't afford to screw this one up!
I admit it was GREAT, GREAT, GREAT, washing that leg/foot, scrubbing off the dead skin, and finally shaving that leg again.
I admit it's wonderful to finally lay here in bed w/o a cast, with the air caressing that leg/foot.
I admit I wonder what it's going to feel like when I finally can walk on it again, as now that the ankle's fused and will never flex again, what will it be like to ambulate?!!!!

Hlen, I'm glad you got your cast off. What were you in for? When will you start walking on it?

my neighbor is Latino. He has a garden in his front yard. ME, being the idiot that I am, agreed to try one of the peppers he is growing. He *warned*me that it would be hot. I didn't listen. OUCHOUCHOUCHOUCHOUCHOUCH!! I have just downed a 1/2 quart of half and half, ate several slices of bread, ad am now working on ANY KIND of food that is even the least bit absorbant!!! My eyes are tearing like crazy, my mouth hurts, and that slight lip-chapping? omg, I am DYING!! And the dude was laughing like mad as I dashed back to my house to ingest all this stuff (and more foods ahead, I am sure...)

I suspect that I will be regretting this even more, later tonight.

I admit that my rain barrel at home (city added a lot of bleach to the water this past year, and it killed plants in the garden. Not grass though) became full of mosquito larvae so I went to Walmart and bought six "feeder" goldfish. 24 hours later Nick and I couldn't find a single living wriggler, other than the goldfish in the water. I will have to resurrect an old tank and get a new air bubbler thingy to take the fish into the house during the winter and early spring. We feed them fish pellets as well.

I admit it I think that's a cool idea! Are the fish okay that way? The rainwater isn't too cold? The water is clean enough for them to swim in? I'm guessing it must be a yes if they're still swimming around. :)

I admit it I took care of a friend's fish when I was a kid. It died. :( I think I changed the water too often.

Our fish have been doing fine for two weeks now. The converted trash can is a huge one. Um what might have caused you problems with your friend's fish is...temperature shock and maybe bleach in the water. I stopped killing fish when I bought spring water, kept jugs at room temp and used these to change out the fish bowl. Otherwise, set out some tap water overnight so that the bleach the city uses will go away. Temperature is important with fish cuz being taken from room temperature water then being dumped into water fresh from the tap can put them into shock.

With a tank with air bubbles, all I do is top it up once per week or two and change out the filter when needed. At this time, I don't have a big tank up. Several years back...I bought some lovely big sea shells in bags, not marketed for fish tanks, in Walmart or at Joann Fabrics and thought they were safe to put into the tank. There was some disease in the new sea shells and all my fish got sick and died.

I love betas cuz they are so pretty and don't need bubbles. I just top up the water in their bowl. Feeding was a nice pinch of freeze dried tubifex worms twice per day. (I like the betas that are in shades of blue.)

Nowadays...I have BAD CATS. Kitty tongues in fish water equals dead fish. And that's IF the cats don't go fishing with paws to flick the fishy out of the bowl and onto the floor. *sighs*
