one legged cooking

Having a bum leg creates a variety of challenges. Maneuvering in the shower is entertaining. And of course I can't drive any of my cars so I'm looking for a slushbox to drive in the meantime. But everyone's gotta eat, and preferably a couple times a day. Sharon has been a total champ, insisting that I stay on the couch while she fetches grub (her with only one arm). But alas, she has to work sometimes, so today I was on my own. No problem...I'm Dr. Self Sufficient. Turns out you can grab the right crutch in your armpit and swing it around, then support yourself on it so you can use your right hand. Left hand has to stay on the crutch as any weight on the left leg is instant scream time. You have to move slow, but it can be done. And you'd be surprised what you can put in your pockets to carry out to the coffee table. Yogurt good. But after getting a couple of meals myself today, I can say that my leg hurts more than any previous day except maybe the first day home from the hospital. Oh well, guess there's a lesson in there too...
