Recovery Week 4 - Happy Halloween!!!

Well... its been a pretty uneventful week. Since the weather changed I've been feeling a cold coming on, but now my symptoms are gone. My cut has started to itch so bad! Its so hard not to scratch it. Its a good thing its still wrapped!
This week was also Halloween! I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out what I should be for Halloween. I considered being Crutchy from Newsies, Mr. McNeally from Mr. Rogers, a pirate with my scooter being my ship. Last year I was a Newsie, and I didn't want to use my crutches. Since I can't drive, I scooter 5 blocks to the trax station. I didn't want to walk using my crutches all 5 blocks... so a Newsie was out. I just wasn't feeling Mr. McNeally so nope. I thought it would be fun to be a pirate, but I didn't have the time to build a pirate ship for my scooter. Also, I didn't have time to buy a costume. Its hard depending on others for rides and stuff.
I decided to be an injured hockey player! I did my own makeup and everything! My co-worker stated that I would be a perfect advocate for domestic violence. Oops! But it was fun! I had to keep telling people that it was just makeup not real. Even my friends, whom I had told of what I was gonna be, thought something had happened to me. It was funny!
So for Halloween night, I stayed at home and sat at the bottom of my stairs and waited for the little kids. It was super fun to give them candy and see the excitement on their faces. Two friends were over and we just hung out. It was fun!
Saturday I just chillaxed and it was great! On Sunday, Gabriel came up and we went to church, had dinner, watched a great fireside and just enjoyed each other's company. It was nice. I have two of the bestest friends who take such good care of me and I am just so grateful for them. Kayla is always willing to take me wherever I need to go and make sure I get to where I'm going. Gabriel calls me frequently to make sure I am doing okay and comes up whenever he can.
On Monday morning, I went to the doctor to get my foot checked out. There was no infection and it seemed to be doing well. He said he was going to leave the stitches in for one more week, just to be sure. Not sure when I can start walking, my guess is another two weeks. It looked good. There was dried blood from when they cleaned it and stitched it all up after. Thankfully it seems good so far, Hopefully, I can walk again soon and that everything will continue to heal correctly.
