Beautiful Day!

I finally finished calculating final grades. It has been a very interesting and challenging semester. The formula I use is very useful when calculating final grades because these grades reflect the effort students put into this course throughout the semester. Some students write well, but others do not understand how to synthesize information. I also managed to respond to all Email messages which I had not read over the weekend.


At 3:30 p.m. my companion came home and I decided to go outside to work on my garden. I removed weeds and planted some flowers. It is almost impossible to do this with crutches, but I managed to do some work by sitting on a stool. I often place my left foot on a foot stool or elevate it as much as I can and that minimizes the pressure I feel on my toes. I have noticed that if I walk outside with my crutches, my left foot begins to hurt after a while. The downside of moving around with crutches is that it hurts a lot under my arms, especially if I walk back and forth. I cannot wait to get rid of this heavy boot and hope the surgeon allows me to walk without a cane or boot. At the moment, I have to avoid putting any weight on my left foot. I hope that this is over by May 12th.
