Post-Op Day #24 - Simple Pleasures

Yesterday was pretty low key but then again it was Sunday! It was a day of simple pleasures.........time outside, visiting friends, seeing horses, eating great food and spending time with my favorite person in the world, ADAM! :-)

Woke up at 7am to inject myself with the Lovenox! I'm a pro, only a few more days to go -- phew, my poor stomach is so bruised up! HA HA!

We started off the day with a nice walk around the block, the weather was perfect -- a nice cool breeze with a bit of sunshine.

My ankle was feeling good, I can really move my toes now and I don't get as much swelling or poor circulation(aka Purple foot LOL)! YAY! I think the Lovenox and Warfarin are working!

After our walk we went to the ranch to visit Helene, she was riding Godiva(a stunning black Rocky Mountain mare) plus we talked to her about this week ---Adam was supposed to go to Fresno for 5 days and she was going to give him a ride to the airport and help me out with some appointments.

We decided to get some lunch so we drove to Issaquah but first went to the highland so Adam could get a cup of coffee at Caffe Ladre. We sat out in the sunshine for a bit, it was grrrrrrreat but then some clouds came and it got really cool.

It was time for lunch at Chipotle MMMMMMMMM- a nice yummy burrito bowl. Ok, so I must explain what is in one for the people who've never been there, had one. Here are the layers of yummy ingredients :-)
A layer of Cilantro rice
some black beans
grilled Peppers and onions(grilled to perfection LOL)
then comes the meat -- we get one side of the bowl with diced grilled chicken( thats my side! its so darn good) and the other side with barbacoa(Adam loves the yummy seasoned shredded beef)
a scoop of fresh chopped tomato, onion and herbs(basically Pico de Gallo)
a scoop of green tomatillo(a nice zippy green salsa)
a tiny bit of sour cream
a tiny bit of shredded cheese
and a nice big scoop of guacamole --- oh ya, they make the best *drools* haha!

then to complete the meal we get a bag of tortilla chips(made fresh daily)
a small soda to share and a cup for water

This bowl is pretty skookum(the bowl is about 8-9" long, 4.5" wide and by the time all the ingredients are pilled into it, its about 3-4inches deep! HA HA!
Adam and I share it, there's no way I can eat one by myself. haha! Even half of it really fills you up!

Ok, enough about the food, its making me hungry! ROFLMAO!

After lunch we got the car washed because it was time to do that.......i was totally useless, I normally do the vacumming but with the crutches etc... its an accident waiting to happen!

We came back home and chilled out for a bit before going for another walk around the block -- we couldn't pass on the chance to get some more of the wonderful fresh air.

As we were coming back towards home we stopped in front of the Irish Pub(Finaughtys) and Adam saw a few guys he knew. I asked Adam if HE wanted a beer(Im not stupid, I wouldnt drink while on these blood thinners) and he said sure, so we hung out there for about an hour -- I had a coke(while wishing there was some rum in it HA HA).
It was fun to hang out, chit chat with the people and check out the bar -- I've been in before, twice I think for dinner with Adam.

We finished up and head home to watch a movie and call it a night. Plus by this time I needed to put my foot up for a bit, take my last dose of Neurontin before bed.
