I have gotten to the point I can stand and even take a few steps without the crutches. Of course I am not suppose to do this and the skin feels slightly chaffed inside the cast but I feel better that I can. I confirmed with the dr that my cast is weight bearing with crutches and the swelling up and down will go on for 6+ months. Sadly I am still losing the zombie look to my toes. I will miss them.

I have worked out a new deal with work. I keep being totally wiped out after getting into work the day prior. So I will work in the office Mon, Wed, and Fri and from home Tue and Thurs. I am getting a company laptop for the time being. And work will be paying for parking for Mondays because I have class after work. That way I can drive home instead of taking 2 hrs to get home via bart.

Someone suggested that I get parking for the days I come into work but I don’t think there is anything close enough by that it wouldn’t be a long walk. The walk to the bart train and from the train to work is shorter so it is actually easier to bart than to drive irregardless of traffic.

I may be crazy to do this, but I would go crazy if I didn’t.
