PRODUCTIVE DAY

I feel like I have had a productive day today...let me tell you about it. I showered, put on makeup and even blow dried my hair. On top of that I was feeling so ambitious that I used Jason's shaver and unwrapped my knee and shaved my leg. Maybe that is too much information for some of you, but I can't tell you how much better it feels to have a shaved leg under that ace bandage. I was pretty excited about it to say the least. I know that I usually update the blog with pictures, but I just can't come up with a thing to take pictures of. I thought that a picture of me shaving my leg would have been a little much for the blog....this isn't an X rated blog....have to keep it clean.

You may not want to see....

Here is a picture of my knee two days after surgery. Kinda gross huh? I'm bored enough that I though I would take a picture and keep my blog updagted. Hope you all enjoy!

POST SURGERY UPDATE

Good news....I made it through my knee surgery, but I'm not very happy about it. I didn't realize it would be as painful as it has been. As soon as the block wore out on my leg it felt like my leg was on fire and it was very painful to even move at all. My mom has been here helping with everything, I can't even say how much that has helped....I'm already dreading her having to leave.

Maybe some of you have noticed...but no picture on this posting. I have been lucky to get a shower each day, but I am in no place to be taking pictures.

One more nice thing....I ordered a laptop off Dell last week and it arrived today so
I can happily blog while laying in bed. Stay tuned!!!

I haven't received any good books from anyone....thanks alot!! :)

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF.....ME!

I better get used to the look of this....cause I'm in for the long haul. Surgery on June 25th fix my torn ACL....out of work for at least two weeks and who knows how much longer to totally recover. My doctor told me...in a heavy duty brace for 6 weeks and a smaller fitted brace for up to a year. I guess I'm in a bummed mode about the whole thing. My summer is pretty much shot, no trip to NY, probably not much camping, definitely no more swimming pools....Anyone have any good books? Send them my way!!!

Target

Nothing like running some errands on lunch. Me, Tiff, Jana and Mindy ran over to Target on lunch...Tiff was affraid I would take to long trying to walk around the store with my bum knee that she had the idea of me riding in the little Jazzy scooter. It was really funny....I couldn't stop laughing about it, especially when I had to back up it beeps like a truck or something would beep. We are always having a good time know matter what we are doing...good thing I carry my camera to capture all these funny moments.

Boys Weekend

Jason and his friends had been planning this boys, 4 wheeling, camping thing for a while. I have to say, even though I wasn't the happiest wife being left home with a bum leg and watching the kids....I was happy that he had so much fun. I stole a couple pictures off his camera...I have to say that it does look like fun, and Jason does look pretty handsome (in a rugged kinda way)!!!!

"Fun" in the sun!

Tiffany had invited us to go to the pool this last weekend. The weather was supposed to be really nice so we thought it would be a wonderful way to spend Sunday. Several of us ended up going....Tiffany and her boys, Mindy and her little girl Katie, my sister Janet. After being there about and hour or so I went to play with Bridger in the kiddie pool. It had lots of slides and fun stuff for kids. Well I went on a slide with Bridger and somehow slipped getting off and landed funny on my right leg. My whole knee twisted and I heard it pop....let me just say it hurt as bad as anything I can remember. I just layed there in about a foot of water just dying of pain...it was a good 5 or more minutes before I even dared to move. I slid myself over to the side and just sat there cause I didn't dare to move. To make a long story short....I ended up at Urgent Care that afternoon (Tiffany really wanted me to call the ambulance so we could get a good picture for the blog). After X-rays, the doctor saw that I had a little broken bone in my knee and thinks I tore my ACL. So I am on crutches and a brace. I saw a specialist on Tuesday this week, got and MRI yesterday, but don't get back to see the doctor until next week. At that time I will hopefully know what is wrong and know what it is going to take to fix this.

Here is cute little Brennon and Bridger, just worn out at the pool! How sweet huh?
