The Franken-Ankle is thankful for...

-Nice people who open doors for me.
-Hilarious children who ask their parents (never me) awesome questions like "why can't she walk?" and "how does she use those?" (He answered his own question when I began crutching: "Oh. Like that.")
-My handicapped parking thingy
-Handicapped spaces. They're annoying when you are able-bodied and can't find a spot, but I've been surprised by how many places don't have any at all.
-full-service gas stations
-any store that gives me a bag with handles instead of one without (thank you, Chipotle!)
-stores with aisles that aren't filled with a ton of crap for me to trip on
-my ability to drive and therefore leave the house on occasion
-drive-through everything
-banisters
-The lady who carried my pizza to the car for me a few weeks ago. And her kid, who carried my drink. I would have just eaten there instead of taking it to go, but she offered. She rocks.
-The still-nice winter weather. Let's hold off on ice as long as possible!
-ski socks. They are good for keeping your un-shoed foot warm and for tying around ice packs to hold them on.
-handicapped bars in bathroom stalls so I don't get stuck.
-ice pops. They make everything better



And lastly, the most important most wonderful help of all ...

-my Jason.
