The Pony had a follow-up appointment with his long-sought-after podiatrist on Thursday. They x-rayed his broken ankle, and said it is healing normally. The Pony told Farmer H, not MRS HM WHO WAITED ON HIM HAND AND HOOF FOR TWO WEEKS, so I barely overheard. Something about the x-ray showing white bands between the bone fragments, which is a sign of the bones starting to knit together.
The Pony had a form (printed by MRS HM, a 45-minute ordeal on her cantankerous printer, and the form the form was in, that being a picture taken of it with The Pony's phone) that the podiatrist filled out, forbidding regular work duties for the next three weeks. He has another appointment then. He took that form by the post office, and left it with the counter guy to give to his manager. I certainly hope The Pony took a picture of the completed form before turning it in!
Friday (today, as you probably read this), The Pony's 2nd Bestie is coming to town for a visit. They plan on meeting up in town, going to feast on either steak or Steak N Shake, then watching some shows on their devices. Probably in The Pony's car, scamming free wi-fi.
I asked The Pony if he had cleaned out his car in preparation for her arrival.
"Let's just say it's cleaner than the time she found the cookie on the floor..."
I hope 2nd Bestie is up-to-date on her tetanus shots. You never know what might be lurking in The Pony's car. Hopefully nothing alive. This will probably be their last reunion until the Christmas break, since she's headed back to college over the weekend.
Oh, and The Pony is kind of bummed that we do not yet have the keys to "his" new fixer-upper. Farmer H is picking up the cashier's check on Friday, and the closing is on Monday morning. The Pony is planning to show 2nd Bestie the outside of the house anyway.

I can understand The Pony's impatience regarding the house, I'd be wanting to walk around inside and start planning furniture placement etc. Maybe dream about paint colours for the walls.
I'm glad the ankle is mending properly.
River,
On Monday, Farmer H will sign the papers and present the check at closing, where he'll get the keys. Then he's going to city hall for a building permit, and will call the electric company to either switch the service to our name, or have the power turned on. On Tuesday, he and The Pony will walk through, take measurements, and decide where they want the rooms to go. Then Farmer H can plan for the plumbing and windows.
The Pony in his boot is getting around faster than I am without one!
