Ms. Betty's World: Update on the New Cane

What Goes On In Ms. Betty's World

I started a blog to reflect on what I've learned in my life and to reach out to others engaged in our curious about BDSM.

I talk about much more than kink, though. There are many sides to me and I tend to express them all. I write about whatever happens to be on my mind each day, from pet peeves to news stories to what's happening out there in the arts.

I started exploring the world of power exchange 14 years ago. While a Lady Dominant isn't all I am, I believe it influences the rest of what I am, just as the way the rest of what I am influences the type of Domme I am. So here I share all of me because I believe it is all relevant to what I do and how I do it.

I do talk in very frank terms at times about BDSM activities, dynamics, and other scene-related issues, but I talk about plenty of vanilla things, too.

Sit and stay awhile. I think you'll like it here.

Update on the New Cane

For those of you who many have missed my last post, I am referring to the aluminum cane I was given by the doctor to help walk after what I thought was a simple bruise got a bit more complicated.

What started as a bruise, graduated to possible hematoma, and got demoted back to deep tissue contusion (meaning I did not bruise the skin, but the muscles beneath) is now a deep tissue contusion with evidence of muscle strain.

Which means?

I saw the doctor again this past Thursday. I'm doing okay for short distances, but longer distances are still very painful. I still tend to fall for no reason as the leg weakens and I still don't have my full range of motion. I am still using the cane.

So now we've added physical therapy to the mix.

However, I am not too worried. The doctor said quite clearly that this is not a serious injury, just a rather inconvenient one. Very reassuring.

Two more weeks and I'll be myself again.

But let this be a lesson to all of you out there...I was injured by a keyboard drawer that someone else left sticking out into a walkway. You would not think such a minor thing could get so serious, but apparently it can. In fact it's not even a rare injury.

So take the time to slid them in when you're done. Your thighs (and others) will thank you.
