Life is crazy

I know, I know... I haven't updated my blog in a long time. I kind of suck at this whole blog thing.

I'll start with an update on my ankle. I am now off crutches. It feels nice to be "walking" again. I still have quite the limp, and the pain can still be intense at times, but it has gotten much better. My pain levels have gone back down to a 4 or 5 when I first wake up, and only get bad later in the day. The doctor gave me a clean bill of health the last time I saw him. Eventually I'm sure the pain and limp will decrease. I just need to stay on it and keep working it.

My mom bought me Wii Fit Plus a few months ago and I was finally able to start using it in the beginning of January. I can't begin to express how much it has helped in the rehabilitation of my ankle. I told my orthopedic doctor about how I've been using it, and he gave his stamp of approval. He said it should aid in my recovery. He also clued me in to a new game for the Wii, which I'm excited to try at some point. It's the Wii Resort, or something like that. I'll have to look in to it.

Work has been insane lately. My boss brought in some help, and both of the new hires are great. Hopefully we'll be able to catch up a bit. I'm in the process of training one of them now, so hopefully soon she'll be able to pick up some of the slack.
