My WAW caught at an early stage (I hope)

[narwhal]

So yesterday on the way home from work I slipped on the ice and dislocated (with fracture) my ankle. I just got home from having a metal plate and seven screws installed to hold it together, and I need to keep all weight off my left foot for six weeks.

So, need to revise my plans for going out dancing, exercising and getting in shape, taking care of things around the house, doing more than my share of child care, etc.

It's going to be hard to be joyfully independent, helpful, and non-needy when I can't drive (or easily take the bus), run around with 4-year-old, cook, wash dishes, or carry a plate to the table.

Any thoughts?
