Rehab, Girl Crush, and Links Oh My!
- November 2, 2008 by Fox | Comments: 17
They say you should let sleeping dogs lie. It seems my “better half” decided to not only let the dog lie, but he let the sleeping Fox rest as well. I must admit to being extra tired this week since my surgeon sent me to physiotherapy for “knee thing surgery” rehabilitation. Apparently, healing from surgery is the easy part. Rehab is the bit$h.
During my physiotherapy sessions I do seemingly simple exercises to get strong again. These simple exercises are EXHAUSTING. I can’t believe I used to run marathons and compete in Ironman distance triathlons…especially since I’m tuckered after standing on one foot for 1 minute and then walking for 3 minutes. Getting back into fitness is going to take some time. I’m game! I just need to take a nap first. 
Anylazyass, time for some links from my RSS Reader!
Girl Crush!
I’m having a serious girl crush on blogger Jessica Hagy from Indexed. I stumbled upon her site a few days ago and have been glued to it since. Indexed is sheer geeky, unmathy, humorous brilliance. This girl is one smart cookie. She shows us the funny side(s) of life in the form of Venn diagrams, bar graphs, and unmathy equations written on recipe index cards. You don’t need a degree in math to get a laugh, promise. Swoon. Love. Here’s a sampling:

OK, I’m cooked. Time to go for another 3 minute walk followed by a 1 minute session of standing on one leg. If I wear pink I could be a flamingo. Snicker.

Thanks for the link! Nice pic…
I had both knees scoped. The rehab wasn’t too bad, and the results have been wonderful! But scopes are minor compared to some knee surgeries. I hope your recovery and rehab go well. Thanks for the mention.
@ABC’s It’s the first pic I’ve almost starred in.
@Patrick Sadly, I didn’t qualify for a scoping. I needed a full-on incision to get mechanically fixed. I’m mostly healed now though. Yay!
Thanks for the link Fox!
Love the pic! And the sofa!
Your forehead looks so PRETTY!
@Gracia The sofa is pretty simple (which I like too). But I find if we switch around the people who sit on it then we stay in style.
@Hayden Tompkins You are giving me a swelled head. LOL
INDEXED is a very funny and well written blog!
Get well soon!
@Frank It’s funny, cause INDEXED isn’t really a written word kind of blog. It’s just so smart.
Do you have any idea how *desperately* I want to send you some cute little flamingo-girl costume, all decked out with pink feathers? There would have to be standing-on-one-food photographs, then - no more of this snoozing stuff.
Heh. I’m probably just jealous that you’ve got (a) a nurturing “better half” and (b) a dog who’ll fit onto your couch!
Feel better soon, foxy.
That should be “foot” … as in, standing on one. Not “food” - ohhh no, there are no one-track minds over here!
@rjleaman For you I will stand on one “food”…so the typo stays! LOL If you dare send me a a pink flamingo costume (with pink plumage) I will eat it. OK, I might run a marathon in it too if I can ever get back into shape. Seriously.
So you’re saying it’s just as well that I’m too cheap to spring for flamingo-costume postage? Ah, well. Okay. So be it. I don’t mess with any woman who can even *think* of running a marathon…
I think if you sleep through the rehab, you should be alright…
Get better and that’s a good looking dog too!
Thanks for the link Fox. Hope you are strong and running soon. Cheers!
Your girl crush’s site Indexed is amazing! Instantly bookmarked!
Hi there!
Instead of doing my work, I’m following Jen (@rjleaman) around the ‘net.
I see you Frugal Sisters stick together, eh? Anyway, I wanted to introduce myself and thank you for the Thanksgiving recipes and the link to Indexed. My wife won’t go for the stuffing, but she may like the idea of a turkey breast and I’m, like, totally commenting in the wrong post, aren’t I? Doh! Well, in for a penny in for a pound. What the heck is miso? {looks it up} Hmmm, sounds interesting. Hopefully, I can find some, because I love gravy!
Cheers,
Mitch
