Well I have broken my ankle...
I am determined not to let it ruin my summer but it's very frustrating. I wanted to go the golf course with TJ last week b/c the weather was beautiful and it wasn't so humid. Of course I don't play so I was wearing flip flops. I walked off the tee-box and the wet grass caused my flip flops to just come right out from under me. TJ and I heard the loudest sound ever and I knew it was broke. They got me a cart and off to the Emergency Room we went. They took x-rays and yes it was broke in 3 places!
That was the worst night b/c all they could do was give me some pain meds and schedule me an appt with the orthopedic the next day. TJ and I didn't sleep one wink that night and couldn't wait to get to the doctor the next morning.
I got to the doctors office and after his first glance of the x-ray he immediatly scheduled the surgery for that afternoon. I had never been put to sleep before or had any kind of surgery so I was so nervous. After he told me about the surgery I cried for the first time!
After the surgery I slept like a baby that night. My leg was still completly numb and it was great! The next day it started hurting again b/c I could feel the screws and plate that was put into my leg along with the cut and stiches. Not the way I wanted to spend Memorial Day weekend for sure.
Don't know what I would have done without these special people...oh and Ally up above. She stayed right by my side the whole time!!!
Oh and did I mention that TJ and I are supposed to be headed to Disney World and Universal Studios in 3 weeks...please pray that I'll have a walking cast by then. I would be so upset if we had to cancel our plans.
I have enjoyed catching up on all the news, shows, and blogs that I have missed latley. I know God has a plan and I am trying to see the positive that will come from this...still a bit unsure of it at this point! ha!
hope you feel better soon! what is it with ankle injuries lately? ha! I fell a month ago and they're still killing me! take care of yourself!
