Finished objects and ankle photos

The following are pictures of the baby blankets I finished while being stuck in the recliner for the last week. The red, white and blue one is for the Yahoo group Angels4Preemies. The other is for a neighbor expecting her first baby.

The others are pictures of my ankle. Lovely isn't it??

I'm going to try to go to work on Monday. Not sure how it will go. Today it hurts almost as much as it did on Monday, yesterday was the best so far. But I lived it up and went and got my hair done. Highlights are back and it's chin length.

Not Broken!!

I waited to post this. I was in alot of pain after arriving home yesterday. I had 3 doctors poking and prodding and I had to try to put weight on my foot.

I started off at my doctor. She unwrapped my foot and didn't like the way it looked so she called the Ortho doctor who's office was right upstairs. We got in a couple of hours later and they determined it wasn't broken just a bad sprain. So I got a lovely boot. I feel like frankenstein. Yes, they are that fashionable. I will hopefully be able to post photos soon. The boot is very cushioned and I am to try to bear some weight on it. If it is really painful I don't need to but I need to gradually try to walk with it without the crutches.

I'm off work the rest of this week. I go back on Monday if I'm able to get up stairs comfortably. Yes, I sit on my butt most of the day at a desk but we have 5 stairs leading into the office that I will need to get up. I'm glad I have time to get used to all of this. I have yet to figure out how to take a shower. I have also decided to take a major portion of my hair off! I know it took me a long time to grow it out but the length and the inability to do anything with it is really getting old. Miss having a style to it. I want to go with something that will work with my curl, so I don't have to fight it. Then ends need to be cut off they are getting fried looking.

Well going to get back to my knitting. Hope to post pictures later today.

Baseball is over thank goodness!

I realize how busy I've really been when seeing the date on my last post. Thursday night was our last game of the instructional season. The 8 year olds are going to play in another town. It ws an exciting evening!

The game was going ok.. nothing really exciting... then I decided to go to the bathroom before our lil dude was up to bat. I go to get off the bleachers and was higher up than I thought... my foot hit the ground and my ankle gave way.. I fell on my butt and couldn't get up. My ankle swelled up almost instantly. My hubby and another friend tried to start taking me to the car. I made it about 10feet and almost passed out! My sister walked up at this point saw how pale I was and said I wasn't going to move until I looked better. Lil dudes mom was at the game - she ran to get our car to pull it up as close as they could get it to me. Here I am.. sitting trying not to pass out, as my ankle grows ever larger. They finally got my butt to the car. For those of you who don't know me...I'm not a small person I weigh a smidge over 200 something I'm very self consceince about and I do this on the most attended game of the year. I was so embarrassed! I'm so glad I won't see most of these people for another year! My sister took me to the ER. She tells me on the way - she's oncall and hopes it's slow there. She in oncall in a different department. Things went quickly. The doctor can't tell me 100% if it is broken or not. I have to wait until I can get into the Orthopedic doctors office. That won't be until monday or tuesday! Thank goodness I haven't used much of my sick time! I can't go to work until I know what's up. I also am having a heck of a time with the crutches! Being in your 40's and overweight is not a good match for handling crutches!

My hubby has been awesome. He teases that I need a bell. He has been out to the store a couple of times and has yet to bring one home. He normally does alot for me around the house. Alot more than a great majority of husbands. Ironically I sent him an appreciation letter from my Dale Carnegie Class monday night. He got it today. I don't think I will be able to finish that class. Which sucks. I really liked going to the class. I just couldn't make it as far as I have to go on the crutches. The class is in the room that is the far back corner of the school.

Oh well things happen for a reason. I know one big thing is I have to get really serious about losing weight. My son is coming home on July 12th. I know he will be a big cheerleader to me getting in shape. The sweetheart that he is he gave me his old ipod so I could listen to music while I went for a walk or got on the elliptical trainer which ironically was put in my bedroom the after noon of my accident.

Things for me to ponder while I'm sitting watching too much tv and knitting as much as I can. Funny how I don't really feel like doing that much.. I find that very strange. I know that will pass. :)
