37 mins on the bike, 8 miles. 3 weeks down, 3 weeks to go (hopefully!) I am certainly looking forward to being done with this cast. Although my ankle is hurting less and less, which is very very nice and makes me feel hopeful (though it gets tired really easily when I'm walking or trying to do yardwork like today) but all these other parts of my leg are now bothering me which makes it twice as annoying. I have to walk in this weird way since my ankle doesn't bend so the back of my knee feels strained all the time. The cast cuts into my shin (especially where it ends) and hurts my shin and right below my knee. My outer foot feels all weird probably because theres no arch support or because I'm walking weird. Plus my toes are exposed and they got soooo dirty while I was trying to pull weeds earlier (just imagine how ridiculous I looked, you can't really squat which made it verrryyy difficult!), when the cast comes off my foot is going to be disgustingly dirty! Anyway, complain much? I truly am trying to look on the bright side. I went to see Jerry Seinfeld on Friday night (randomly got invited a few hours before the show) and it was HILARIOUS, I wish I had it on tape so I could keep listening to it! But one of my favorites was "your life sucks, my life sucks, (well, mine doesn't suck as much as yours), everybody's life sucks! But the good thing is, is that great and sucks aren't that far apart. Everything either sucks or is great, there's no in between. And sometimes, they mean the same thing. Imagine you're walking down the street and you drop your ice cream cone. Sucks! But what do you say? Great!". Anyway, much funnier in person, but it reminded me that everybody's life sucks, not just mine! hahaha. But that its easy to turn sucks into great. Another one of my favorite quotes of his before I go to bed: "Single people think marriage is about intimacy. But what marriage is about is trying to be together and not saying the words "I hate you"! Because you can't say that. So instead you say things like "WHY DON'T WE EVER HAVE ANY SCOTCH TAPE!"
