Getting Fat

Can you say spoiled rotten? This is typical of what I am fed everyday. I am going to have some serious weight to lose when i finally start fixing my own meals.

Morbid Curiosity

Okay, I know this is really gross, but I have been asked a gazillion times if I had pictures. I apologize if I make you fiant. Hopefully, you will be sitting down when you see these.

Doctor said I have one more week with the splint and then 4 weeks with a cast. I may have to wear one of those nasty boot things for two weeks after the cast comes off. I can't put any weight on my foot until the cast comes off.

I am already bored to death. I look forward to my meals when I have someone to visit with. Never thought I would see the day when I would be anxious to get up and do my own chores, lol.

Nightmares!

I was going to take a picture of my ankle while it was unwrapped and post it, but I will have nightmares for years just because I looked at it. I have two huge incisions and then he showed me the x-rays and I decided I wanted to be shot immediately, lol. I have 8 screws and one big plate in my ankle. Just thinking about the x-ray makes me nauseous and faint.

I have a splint on for two more weeks. I'm supposed to take it off a couple times a day and flex my ankle. In two weeks they will put a cast on it and then I will have a bit more mobility.

I'm being well taken care of. The relief society is bringing in meals and David is taking care of all the kids. I just lay here in bed and read all day. Life of luxury.......not!

Ouch!

Welcome to my world. It sucks, lol. But I can still smile and laugh because it's the only way to deal with it.

I was going down my stairs on Sunday and something popped in my left foot cuasing a lot of pain and I stumbled and missed the bottom step and hit the landing with my right foot.

Now, this picture does not do justice to the extent of my injury. I have a tri-maleal fracture and I'm sure I didn't spell that right. There are 3 bones in a triangle, your two protruding ancle bones and one in the back. I broke all three of them as well as some other fractures on the outside of my ankle.

The doctor told me that he would be soing surgery to set the bones. Surgery was supposed to last and hour but I have been informed that I was in there a lot longer than that. I also came out with a plate and 2 pins. So, I'm not exactly sure what they did to me. I didn't get to see the doctor afterwards but I see him again in thursday so I can post an update them.

But, I am home with lots of help and doing okay.

Weird Child

If anyone every finds out how the mind of a child works, would they please clue me in. McKay asked me to come in his room to see that his clothes were laid out for his campout. I thought I would see them laying haphazardly across his bed. This is what I found instead. He is such an imaginative child and he keeps us all laughing. What a cutie!

Snow

Snow can be pretty, even the dirty snow. I may hate shoveling the stuff but it is fun to take pictures of it. The snow had melted into weird forms and they looked so pretty when the sun was shining on them. Makes me look like an awesome photographer. These were taken behind the DATC outside of my welding class. I saw the snow on my way home for lunch, so I brought my camera on my way back after lunch. Kind of fun pictures, if I say so myself.
