Well I really did it this time. This weekend I broke my ankle. I just can't believe it, it took less then a second and happened on a date with my dh. By the way we haven't been out for months and months just the two of us for fun. My mom gave us a night out while she babysat the kids, she even went all out and gave us her house for the night, just so we could have a romantic night alone. Well my husband and I had dinner, did a little shopping and went back to her place. We were unloading some things we brought with us, I realized I forgot something and went back out to get it. I stepped out on to my mom's porch and there was two welcome mats on top of each other, one pretty thick, it had slipped off the bottom one and when I stepped down my ankle twisted and I heard CRACK! It was SO painful, it still is. The ER doc said it was broken and I'm suppose to see a bone dr. today at 4pm. Please pray for me, I am such a wimp with pain and pretty scared with what they are going to have to do to it. The ER dr. says it appears to be a clean break and should only need a cast, hope so. My husband has been so great totally taking care of me, even my kids are trying their best. I am in so much pain, pain meds don't seem to help a whole lot but they do help me sleep. They have put a temporary splint on it. Thanks to my church family and friends who have brought me a walker, a shower seat, heating pads, a meal, shower sprayer, all kinds of things. It means so much to have so many people's love, I can't tell you how wonderful it makes you feel. I have been pretty much out of it but I'm more aware of things today. I will take pics and share my cast when I can.
I'm still hosting Tuesday Reviews, I already have mine made so I will post it, don't forget to sign Mr. Linky and write a review. I would love to see all of yours.
