Update from the week

Well today I had to get yet another cast due to the fact I was having way to much pain, burning at incision site, and low grade fever. Thankfully no infection but I do have stain and sprain of the toes and deep bruises but the dr is impressed with the ankle moves. I may not have as much physical therapy when the cast comes off. It's been a slow week and I have been very grumpy. I just get depressed sitting around the house day in and day out. Hopefully this week will be better. I'm starting to lead rock group again and am excited about it.

Life is slowly moving along....

Ok when I saw it's slowly moving along I truely mean it..... I'm so bored but on the bright side have now been laid of 3 weeks out of 7 so there is a small bright light at the end of the tunnel. Today I went back to the surgeon for my 2 week post op appt (one day shy of actually being 2 weeks). I got to see it for the first time and I can offically say I have a foot again. It was so swollen before surgery I wasn't sure what it was but it looks good now. The dr showed me the x-rays and they looked cool but I fill like I am put back together with spare parts. So I guess this makes me a fixer upper. Anyways I started back last week to rock group and it was awesome to be back. This week is sports week and so I went out and bought an ohio state shirt to wear for ROCK group. I have gotten out a few times over the last week and that helps. I will get my cast off Nov. 16th and then will get a boot which I will be aloud to walk in. It will be great to walk again.

Update on life

Well I am still laid up and have 5 more weeks but I'm grateful for that time to chill and think about life. I did have surgery a week ago and a plate and 6 screws were put in my ankle and lower leg to fix it. I quit 4 days after surgery taking pain meds and it's not bad at all. I am starting back to rock group and can't wait to see the rugrats tomorrow. I am excited to get back in there. I'm just helping but hopefully soon will be up to running it again. I started back to meetings and that's going well. Life I am grateful for today because in life there are good times, bad times and ugly times. I am choosing to focus on the good because even when life is ugly it is still good because those experiences make me who I am and I am awesome!

My Favorite Things

So I was reading a friends blog and I saw this on theirs and thought I would do my own version of My favorite things (of 2009)so here goes:

Favorite People and Places:- so I have a ton of awesome friends who I have developed great relationships more so in the last few months. Plus I have an awesome support system who care for me for me. Other favorite people would be my ROCK group kids (who I have missed very much and can't wait to see them tomorrow). I have a great family who have put up with me especially the last 3 weeks invading their house while I recoup with a broken ankle/leg. God is become more and more important to me in the last few months and I can honest say I know I am a loving child of my heavenly father and that's awesome. I'm become one my own favorite person. I am starting to like who I am and the changes taking place. I love my nieces very much (4 and 2). It's been amazing watching them grow. My favorite places are anywhere where my friends and family are.

Favorite Music:- So this year pretty much went from listening to country to now anythings. Some of my favorite songs are Sober by PINK (means so much now to me), I'm Movin' On by Rasical Flatts, A Believers Prayer by Sally DeFord (i sang it this year from memory at my grandmothers church), If Today was Your Last Day by Nickelback, If the Savior Stood beside me by Sally DeFord (my sister and I sang our first ever duet together and it was amazing), Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman, and many man others.

Favorite Outings:- This would have to be my trip to Utah. It was nice to go that far away by myself and prove that I can do it. I got to see lots of awesome friends and meet many new ones. It was amazing because there I had time to think and decide what I want to do with my life and where I want it to lead. It's pretty awesome! Also the branch lake trip was a lot of fun and the first time I have tubed behind a ski boat since I was 15 and I loved it. My 30th birthday party with my friends was a blast and also the day at rock group with the kids were awesome!


Favorite Events:- There are a lot but i'll try to condense them. Laura's supposed to be pretend party that she found out about was way fun! Spending time with Emily and Bryn at their apartment (haven't done it in a long time and need to chill with them after i'm healed). My 30th Birthday was actually a lot of fun! My trip to Utah and seeing all my friends. Day Camp ROCKED and I look forward to going back next year and working with the kids again. VBS at the church with my kids in 1-2 grade they were a blast and were polite! The Branch lake trip. My grandma's 80th birthday and making her a video. Celebrating my friends and nieces birthday were awesome! Seeing Ray Steves at the fair for free was awesome. My last favorite one I will post about was my grandparents 60th wedding trip to Seneca Lake. I love spending 2 days with everyone! It was a blast.

Life has been hetic and busy here

Well last weekend I ended up in the hospital with a small bowel obstruction. This time it required a tube through the nose down to the stomach. It wasn't fun. Came home last Sunday and then monday decided in the morning to go downstairs of my parents house. I fell 2 or 3 steps from the bottom and broke my right ankle (my driving ankle). I will be having surgery this next week because I broke it good and tore the ligements on the inner side. Anyways things here are rough but I'm still very blessed.
