it's wonderful being back at work. i can't believe my brain was idle for 3 months, although the broken leg demanded a lot of attention. but i feel quite ready to be a contributing member of society. in leg news, i am meeting a new physical therapist tomorrow who was recommended by my podiatrist. i hope hope hope he is great because pt is a huge factor of recovery. tai chi was also mentioned today by our flash programmer. i'm also hoping that just having something else other than my progress to focus on will balance my brain nicely. speaking of, read an article today in nytimes.com on how men in their prime aren't working. if they're couch potatoes twiddling their thumbs all day, that's not cool. if they're taking over the household, that's ok. i can't imagine supporting my husband, unless i was so wealthy that money wasn't an issue.

i never realized how complex our bodies are. now that i've been broken, it's humbling and frustrating to experience the complications of getting back in order. i need to hear of inspirational stories of recovery and survival. where are they when you need them? at least these past 3 months have gone by quickly, now that they're over. patience is a virtue.

"When drinking champagne, always make a remark about the bubbles. You can either take the side that you like the bubbles, or that you're against them. Our favorite line on the subject is, "I like champagne - because it always tastes like my foot's asleep."

how exciting, to see design take a stand. i understand chip kidd's feelings, but i have to say, i respect paula scher more. it's too easy to be seduced by money, fame, power.

the left side of my ankle has been hurting and my current PT says it's a normal place for pain since ligaments are torn there. i just want to know when it's all going to be history. when can i forget that i had this accident? when can i run and jump around? at PT people don't talk with one another. i think we're all focused on our own bodies. i'm also tired of talking about it. and i'm even more tired of feeling like it's the main thing i can talk about because it has been my main focus for the past 2+ months. must remember, this too will pass. positive thinking.
