I am thoroughly enjoying having a dumpster below my deck. I've discovered something oddly cathartic about throwing trash and clutter into the dumpster from a high distance. Everything from physically throwing the items to hearing the clanking and breaking as it hits and settles into the dumpster is satisfying and motivating. With each toss I found myself searching for more items to throw away.
In the 24 hours since we received the dumpster we have probably filled it 25%. With both Scott and I psyched for cleaning and purging, it has become obvious that we are going to need at least one more dumpster. We have accumulated so much stuff!
With the exception of playing toss the trash, I stayed off my leg for the majority of the day. The sores have closed and are healing but I remain cautious. I continue to ice several times a day which provides both relief for the pain while bringing down the angry swelling that is flaring up. I am optimistic that I'll be comfortable by the weekend if I continue to allow myself the time and opportunity to heal. At this point, my staying off my leg isn't a luxury but is mandatory.
