CAST WATCH : WEEK FOUR : Getting tired of being useless

So this week marks week four of the broken leg from hell. I'm slowly but surely becoming part of the couch. I'm surprised by how much better I am feeling.
I can now put basic weight on the leg without it buckling and me needing a fist full of pain killers and I can now stand on my crutches for longer then five minutes without needing a sit down. So I am getting there. I can't wait to be back on my feet. There is no episode left unwatched and no film left unjudged at the moment.
It's odd, when I am sick I am so used to lying in bed feeling miserable and knowing full well I couldn't work or be a decent functioning human being. But with my leg, I still feel fine and ready to work -  I just cant walk.
I'm excited because the cast is coming off in two weeks and I can't wait to get back to work. Sod going out - my main focus is back to work! I hate sitting here feeling awful and sorry for myself. It's boring.
I miss my make-up, I miss my clothes and I miss wearing shoes. I cant get shoes on my feet right now - well I can get one on but the other one? Nah!
I am loving how much weight I've lost recently - no seriously, I've lost weight. I thought with all the sitting around I would really gain weight - but because I have no desire to try standing up or running - I've not been eating. In fact I'm living on one meal a day at the moment - so I have lost a lot of weight which I can see in my face, collarbones and legs. My brace has had to be resized three times as my swelling has gone down so much. Which is a good thing.
So now all I have to do is wait another two weeks for the bloody thing to come off and then I can go back to my normal life. Thank god.
