I've succumbed and signed up for Netflix, and my rental list reads like the list of everyone else's obsessions I've never gotten around to (which is to say: Black Hawk Down, Amelie, Lost in Translation, and television series from England (read: Horatio Hornblower) ... oh hey... maybe they have MI-5.... oooo, they do, only season 1 though).

So, sorry if I was a bit overly literary about the craptastic nature of my day. I still don't know what the story is about the Counsellor thing, and I'd like to, just so I can assimilate, do anything that might make sense, and move on.

That said, I am really stuck on the way I put this, this notion that people presume all these things about what I think of them, because I put my hands on my hips, because that's where they fit... it's so interesting really. I spent the rest of the day trying not to do it, almost fearfully... very strange, and maybe there's something interesting to write in all that.

Other small accomplishment of the day... cleaned off my desktop... now if I can just purge all the crap in my bookmarks....

Really bummed I have to wait until Sunday to ride again, although this is probably good -- today I couldn't cross my legs without manually moving them into place. I have _really_ _really_ tight tendons by nature (an issue of much medical consternation when I danced), and I'd forgotten how they react to my stretching them out at all. Yuck.

Can I just tell you how much I hate being hassled about being Jewish (which I am, but it's like one thing on a long list)? Aside from iew racist bullshit, creepy.... this whole "looking Jewish" thing is shit. Hello, idiots, there are Jews in Ethiopia. There are Jews in this world with blonde hair. Okay? Fuck off.. People look like they are from certain parts of the world, that happen to contain Jews. Also... my nose? Roman nose. Stereotypical roman nose. If you're gonna be a racist, at least like be an observant one, okay? Man... there's no precision in anything anymore.

BTW, ordered more BPAL the other night.. got their Mabon limited edition, and a full sized Hesperides.

So I'm impressed by your functionality already... do you have a timetable for getting the leg fixed up or do you not even want to think about that yet?

As far as anyone can tell medically, there is nothing wrong with my leg--so likely a torn muscle. I am slowly but surely walking better. Very slowly. I still needed a chair to get out of the hospital, but I took her two flights of stairs without shrieking. Not that I can shriek, at the moment. I was intubated and my voice doesn't much function above a hoarse rattle.

The amount of pain and time lost from work makes me fear chest surgery, but at least that is all skin and fat, whereas this is metal and bone.

It will be at least a month for the bone to heal and another month to full functionality.

My mother broke her collar bone over thirty years ago, and it never healed right and always gave her problems, so I definitely think you did the right thing.

And I'm so glad you won't need surgery for the leg, that sounded really awful. I suppose as it gets stronger what's bad about NYC now will be good for you later -- you can hardly avoid waling here, and you will get that strength back just by how we live.

Yes, I'm looking forward to it. I enjoy walking and we'd meant to spend last week showing me around town. I've been getting rides to the hospitals from her mother and taking cabs home. I'll be glad when I can do yoga again.

Loved my doctor; if you need ortho work, I'd recommend him. DiFelice at Jacobi.
Overall, I've been very pleased with the health care people here.
