I'm tiring of watching the leaves rustle on the trees that I see through the window from my reclining position. But I did have some new accomplishments today ...
I took a shower wearing a heavy plastic boot cover over my cast - it fit tightly at the leg above the cast and had a small pump to expel all the air between the plastic and the cast. See photo on Facebook. The shower felt great!
I set up my temporary office and had a Skype meeting with Diana (in CA) Steve (on Cape Cod) and John (somewhere around Hartford) about the paper we are writing together.
It's proceeding slowly. Very slowly.
I finished my first novel, And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini. Quite complex - about family connections, actions and ramifications across generations and continents. Recommended. (But I think I liked The Kite Runner the best of his three books). Now I've started Caleb's Crossing by Geraldine Brooks. Quite differential. It seems a bit sinful to be reading a novel in the morning, but, hey, what else am I going to do? I haven't started watching DVDs yet.
And, best of all, I have only needed to take Tylenol for pain.
Tomorrow I will brave the outside world and scooter down to inspect the drainage work at the corner of Charles and Ashworth.
