Yeah, it's really strange. I mean, I'm working very hard to be as independent as possible but I don't think it's helping. I mean, I did all my laundry, half of his, washed and changed the sheets and towels, cooked a couple of meals and have been taking care of the indoor animals.

I get it that all the outdoor animal care has fallen to him and that sucks. And I'm not cooking as much as I was but it's hard work doing it on one foot! I know he's also disappointed that we've had to cancel a bunch of planned events for this summer so I'm hoping it's just kind of the initial shock that he's adjusting to.

Honestly, I think a part of it is that he got a little too excited about the fact that I had to cancel my tri season and I think he thought that meant a lot more fun for both of us...forgetting the reason I'm not doing any races.

Luckily, everyone at work has been really, really great. I don't think it would be the same if I still worked upstairs as an engineer...but down here in HR, everyone has been awesome about it (and very helpful). I'm actually the third person in the past 9 months in this group to be on crutches for a foot injury, so I think they are kind of used to it!
