It's Been Awhile

I haven't posted anything in a while although I have wanted too and now of course I can't remember what I wanted to blog about.

My foot is getting better daily. I had my stitches removed the day before Thanksgiving and it was horrible. I had riped out at least 1 stitch so that area was so raw and it hurt while they were cleaning it off. I was a little upset because I had kept calling the nurse in Missoula and telling her I thought my incision was bleeding and she kept telling me that they had messed with my nerves so much and that nerve block they put on my leg would feel like running water. It did in fact feel like it but it was because I was bleeding as well. I had completely soaked through all the bandages they had my ankle wrapped in. She also told me that I would be a couple days to a week that I wouldn't be weight bearing, then it went to 2 weeks now I am at 4 weeks. I don't think she gave me wrong information but she totally dismissed me.

I didn't go to the dr in Missoula to have my stitches out, the stipulation to getting my stitches out here was that I had it done by a dr so he could call the surgeon and discuss my treatment. It took an hour and half to get those stitches out! I didn't cry though, my kids were watching so I had to be strong! I about took myself out for a treat cuz I was such a big girl but decided that with my limited activity that I didn't need the extra calories. I drank wine that night instead!

I went shopping on Black Friday...it was kind of fun although being on crutches was terrible while shopping. I went with my sister in law and she was so patient and helpful! Although I think her arms got really tired. I told her I could relate since I carry my body weight on my arms daily now. I got almost all done with my Christmas shopping and it's even wrapped as of right now. I can't believe how on the ball I am. I will go to Missoula next week for my follow up appointment and I pray that I get released from these darn crutches. I will take my oldest with me to Missoula since that is his birthday and I told him we could go to lunch and he could pick out his birthday gift. I know I am a loser! He won't be able to unwrap any gifts but he swears he doesn't care.

We don't have school tomorrow which will be nice, I am getting my hair done and plan to get it cut off...although I haven't decided how quite yet! I am kind of testing my stylist. She hasn't cut my hair into a style I have wanted, stating that she doesn't want to cut it so short...I want my hair short. If she doesn't do it tomorrow I am in search of another stylist and I will have to go out of town.

That's about it for today's random blog.

My question of the day is...Christmas cards....do you think that they need to be sent out every year and how do you decide who gets one?
