Been some time...

I seem to be saying this regularly when I start a new message, but...It's been a while since I last posted.

There's actually a good reason this time around, namely that I just plain forgot to post and I have not really had anything interesting happen since I last posted my story of the accident. As a matter of fact I've been sitting at home and just reading emails, listening to music and waiting for the leg to heal.

I've got the "antenna" in the leg for at least another 3 weeks before I get to see the Doctor. Only then will I know what's going to happen. I suspect (hope?) that the antenna will come off and the leg will go into plaster or a plastic cast for another period of time to give me time to get the muscles worked out and strengthened.

Sitting at home "doing nothing" sure sounds like a lot of fun, but I can tell you it definitely is NOT! If you are the type of person who enjoys being amongst people, sitting around at home while everyone else is at work is quite lonely. I have learnt how to be more socially active through "Skype" and email and other electronic methods, I must tell you!

It's amazing how much communication means to you when you're sitting around the house on your own. Probably why I was so frustrated when the old cell phone started acting up and I had hassles getting connected to the internet at some stage.

Anyway...Today is one of those days where I'm sitting at home (where else?) listening to the cricket test on the radio, because I do not have satellite tv (Yeah, yeah, I know...I already have the necessary antenna attached to the leg!). It's quite an interesting thing to do, because it gives your imagination some time to work again. I actually recommend that people do this on a regular basis.

Now that I've "rambled" on about nothing in particular you'll have to wait until I find something worthwhile writing about before I post again. At this stage I must admit, however, that listening to the radio could actually give me a lot to write about, specifically since I am listening to news quite often, byt anyway......
