I absolutely cannot believe its december!!! I have been away for a few days after getting injured on Thanksgiving and while waiting on news with my Grandpa's illness....In case I have any unknown readers, here is what happened. Thanksgiving day I was getting Laci in the truck and after i put her in i stepped back and rolled my ankle off the edge of the driveway. (the HOA peeps edge way too big a gap there) anyhow it popped so loud i heard it! I immediately hit the driveway in incredible pain on my right knee so bad that 2 days later it is still swollen with fluid and bruised and cut up. Now, I have a huge pain tolerance, I drove the car home from my csections, and made dinner 72 hours after them! I usually suck it up, cuss a little shake it off and move on...well, not this time. I put my head against the tire and sobbed like a 2 year old! Freaked poor brian out as he has NEVER heard me cry in pain in our 6 years together. It took me 10 minutes just to relax enough to straighten my leg out. another 10 to get brian to get me to my foot and hopped to the car. We piled in and headed for my moms house 30 minutes south. I got there and brian and my little brother helped me into the house. My step dad got me some ice and I sat with ice for an hour. After an hour my foot was hot 3 times the correct size and had their weird spotty bruises and streaks of red on it ankle. So everyone talked me into going to urgent care. Brian took me in and an hour or so later and xrays and it turns out I have a torn ligament, they gave me a boot and vicodin (which btw I finally got filled and was upset when I realized the crappy hydrocodone I have been taking from brians car accident is indeed vicodin so no extra pain relief there). But today I am feeling a lot better and the weird swelling is mostly gone and I can walk on it a lot better. I have a doctor appointment on Friday for a weight check and consultation, so I am going to have him look at it and make sure it looks good.
My grandfather was vey ill last week, he was in bed with a fever and having trouble breathing. I was waiting til yesterday for him to go to the lung doctor to get the news from my grandma....and its the best news I could hope for! He has bronchitis and an upper respiratory infection, *but*, it could have been a lot worse! They go in two weeks to be cleared for their trip to GA for Christmas and I cant hardly wait!!!! :)
Black friday was mostly a bust as you can imagine being I was in pain sitting at home. Brian was a trooper though and got up early and went to a few stores and got some deals that I was hoping for.and I was proud of him and greatful for that. I managed to get a few good deals shopping from home on the computer as well. :)
We put our Christmas tree up on Saturday!!! Its the earliest we have ever put one up, and to go along with what I have deemed the most untraditional Thanksgiving weekend/start to the Holidays ever, we went with not only putting it up early, but went with a fraiser fir for the first time ever as well!!! LOL!! I figured, why not! But she is a beautiful 8 footer with 5 strands of lights and a hundred ornaments and I couldnt be happier with a tree!
Both kids have had a turn with being sick, Christopher was sick for 4 days during Thanksgiving week, and Laci was sick for 2 days. She was sick so bad yesterday she was in bed with a fever, coughing, and sleeping all day...and by last night she was cool and running around the house laughing and playing with everyone...it was very strange!
Anyhow, today Brian is off work and we are going to try and finish up as much shopping as possible so we can be done! :)
Have a beautiful December morning everyone!
