A Day of Bed Rest

Since I came home from the health center yesterday, I pretty much stayed in bed with my left leg elevated. It's so boring!! I have watched so much TV that I start to find that there is nothing to watch. I have my laptop with me in bed, and I am checking my emails every 5 mins. My immobility is driving me crazy. I miss going to the gym for some weight lifting and cardio exercises. Actually, I would be happy if I could just walk like a normal person! I can't imagine how my life is going to be like post surgery, since there will be swelling and pain...

My roommate, Mark, has been more than helpful. He went to get a bath chair for me so that I can take a shower sitting down. He cooked meals for me, he did all the dishes, and he even helped me research information on Achilles tendon rupture. What's more is that he even got online and found me the application for a temporary handicapped placard. My current life would have been much worse if it were for his help so far! Thanks, Mark...

Tomorrow, July 5th, Mark is probably able to leave work early to take me to see an orthopedics at USC University Hospital around 2:30PM. Hopefully, the doctor can answer all the questions I have.
