this is getting old

Yikes, this whole cast thing is getting old. I am still in pain and am frustrated that it is hard to do stuff. Yes, I knew what I was getting into, but still it is hard. Well, except the hours I get to sit around and read and watch tv, that is

Also, I am daily reminded of all the amazing people God has put into my life. My house is clean, our laundry is done, we have been getting meals, and the boys have had numerous play dates with friends lately. Plus the boys have been getting rides to and from school and other activities.

ok, this is not so bad after all!

WE ARE SO BLESSED!!!

My cast

I took this today while I was outside sitting on the deck

proud of myself and prayer requests

Although I think I may have overdone it, I am proud of myself because today I spent all day downstairs. I did dishes (in a chair.) I got my own breakfast, lunch, and snack. I also made dinner (tacos.) My mom did have to help with that a bit. And I went to Josh's soccer game. This was great because he got to be goalie again. I didn't have my camera, but at least I got to see it.

I am in a bit more pain now (which is why I think I may have overdone it), but I feel accomplished.

Of course this pales in comparison to a day in my life when I am not on crutches, but it was a good day for me now since I am on crutches.

Continue to pray for blessings for my mom, stepfather, sister, and brothers, who are all really picking up the slack and doing what I can't (especially my mom!) Please also pray we all stay healthy at this time as well.
Also pray for blessing for all my friends and extended family who are also helping in one way or another. Especially Leighann, Monica, Cindy, Joanna, Brian, Gerri, & Eileen who are all helping drive Jason & Joshua to and from school and co-op. Pray for a hedge of protection around there vehicles as they drive my boys to and from activities.

Thanks for all your prayers! I am off to bed now.

I got my hard cast today

Today I went downstairs for the first time since Thur. It was nice to move around a bit. I had a doctor appointment. The swelling on my ankle had gone down alot, so I got my hard cast on. I choose white this time. Joshua wrote, "I am Joshua" and "ILU" (I love you.) My aunt drew a happy face. My mom wrote, "Get Out!" and "vacuum." Jason wrote, "I love you from Jason" and he drew me as an old lady with a cane. Everyone is a comedian in this house.

I feel better. Plus after tomorrow I can start moving around more (with my crutches.) I am excited about that. Friday I am going to go home. It has been great being taken care of, but I miss my house. I miss my bed. I miss my mail. Yes, I am silly.

Thanks for all the prayers and support.

another update

I am still in a bit of pain. Plus I was feeling pretty dirty today. My great mom helped me wash my hair and now I feel better. It is so hard not to be able to do much on my own.
Tomorrow Josh will go back to school, and Jason will have school again. Plus Jason has gym class. My brother is going to take him to it. My mom is taking Josh to school and picking him up as well.

I have to go put my leg up again.

I am in pain

Yes, I am a big baby, but ouch, I am in PAIN!!!

My mom is taking great care of me and my boys. We are still at her house. I am so grateful for her and my stepfather.

I will try and get some sleep now.

Goodnight!
