As y'all know, I had surgery last week. Sunday I was feeling GREAT and the pool was finally ready, so a swimming we went! I was getting out of the pool, and somehow, slipped on the ladder. I heard a snap. One ER trip later, I was told I had a broken bone. I broke the bottom of my tibia and, in the process, sprained my ankle. It was too hard to sit at the desktop because it feels SO much better to have my foot up. Our laptop was acting stupid and wouldn't save anything on blogger. Well, this morning I downloaded Google Chrome, and now it's working really well. So, anyway, now I should be back to being able to keep up with the blog.
I went to an orthopedic surgeon yesterday. He took the cast off, said it was applied horribly, and put me in a walking boot. I love the boot...it's a lot lighter. But, my ankle has hurt more since being in it. At least I don't have to worry about getting it wet. When I took a shower with the cast, I used saran wrap, a trash bag, duct tape, and a towel. I kept the cast outside the shower, and it still got soaked.
I'm still off work for another week. I can't bear weight on my foot at all. I go back for XRays in 2 1/2 weeks. I'm trying to stay off the crutches as much as possible. Did you know how many abdominal muscles you use on crutches? Do you know how much abdominal stitches HATE crutches?

Anyway, there are definitely some things I need to blog about. I will be posting more over the next couple of days!
