Well it’s been quite a couple of weeks since I fell and broke my ankle. I still have the cast on and still finding it a challenge to do the day-to-day things of living. But I have such a wonderful group of friends, I am humbled by everything they are doing for me.

Every day someone is here, making or bringing food or groceries — sometimes chocolate! It makes it so much easier than it might have been.

A bunch of us usually get together in a local cafe for champagne every Thursday at 5 pm. Since I wasn’t able to go this past couple of weeks, they all came here!

Last weekend I finally had the cataract surgery I’ve been waiting for for such a long time. And I have to say I am delighted with the results. Everyone who has had it told me about the dramatic change, but it still took me by surprise. I’ve spent a lot of time gazing out of my window. It’s not much of a view, mainly apartment buildings, but the lines are clear and sharp and that’s truly a gift after all those years of fuzzy edges.

No more missing my bus because I couldn’t read the number!!

Not that I’ll be taking the bus again for a while, but the good news is that I have a date for the surgery on my ankle of July 11 and that will roll around quickly. I am hoping I will have a walking boot after that and can begin my recovery seriously.

I’ll keep you posted.
