as the world turns

The See Saw continues

First it was the infected hand followed by a course of heavy antibiotics with side effects.

That ended just on Thanksgiving day to give me some time to recover, shop, go see low tides, spend a few days with the kids and be happy and then. .

things turn again with severe pain in the left foot that got to a point where I could not even step on it.

The doctors at my hospital are very happy to have a regular repeat customer. The family meanwhile is accusing me of poor work life balance, putting other things above doctor visits, pig headedness (if there is no such a word, there is now!) etc. etc.

To their credit the doctor was visited today and after many x-rays and tests they declared that a tendon has been damaged and continued use of the tendon has damaged it further.

Now it has come to resting the leg, some more pills and walking with crutches for a couple of days.

My days of staying off pills with yoga are long forgotten now. Praying to all the gods I know and all the gods I don't know to make this go away as fast as possible so the hot room can be visited again!

Going without yoga is turning me into a man with PMS and that is not a good sign..

Here's to a better tomorrow...

ps. On a slightly brighter note, the Shutterfly photo album from the trip was delivered. It is fantastic. Next time we go on a family trip, we are definitely going to make an album..

The world will turn...

Bedtime conversation with the kids:

Jr. : Which house was I born in?

Me : We used to live in Santa Clara when you were born but we moved within 6 months after that to Sunnyvale!

LO : Which house was I born in?

Me : Sunnyvale house. But when you were six months old we moved to Cupertino!

LO : I want to go back to Sunnyvale because I don't remember that house. We only see it when you show "baby photos" before going to bed. Akka (sis) remembers that Sunnyvale house because she lived there for long time..

Jr.: Come on, it is the same thing for me, but I don't ask to go back to the Santa Clara house!

Me : Don't worry. You will both go live in many houses as you grow older. You will go to college and live in a hostel or dorm. Then when you get a job you might live in an apartment and when you get married and have a family you will have your own house..

Little One : AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS, MOMMY WILL BE THE GRANDMA AND SHE WILL DO ALL THE WORK FOR ME!!!

Had no idea where that came from, but sent me literally rolling on the floor laughing!

San has it coming. . .
