My Leg
Well I am three weeks into my leg mess. What a nightmare. I would not recommend anyone break a leg ever, but especially if you have small children or other people to take care of.
I went to the Dr on Wednesday and got my cast off. I feel like a whole new woman. My brace lets me bend my leg, and shower (kind of) like a human. I can also take it off! Whahoo! This is nice.
Monday I head back to work part time and I am a little nervous about that. I'm clumsy on my feet and now I am headed to work on crutches. Luckily I only have to go part time because it is exhausting for me to do too much yet. Crazy how surgery and such can knock you down so hard.
I am putting some pictures of my leg and such....enjoy!

The finale to our camping season.
Last weekend was the beginning of a 3 weekend run at camping. Spencer last weekend, Bear Lake this weekend, and Pole Bridge next. Unfortunately I single handedly ruined the plans.
We were on a family ride last weekend everyone enjoying themselves. There came a tricky part, I was sure I could do on my own....nope as witnesses by 20 or so of our closest friends and family I wrecked a broke my leg.
Of course it couldn't bean easy break....nope I did a major break. Messing up my entire knee needing a bone graft from my hip to fix my knee.
As such I am unable to put any weight on my leg for 8 weeks. There goes the rest of our camping trips and quite honestly life as we knew it.
I'm already sick on not being able to get around sitting in bed and quite honestly the pain. Not to sound like a major complainer but I'm sick of not being able to take care of my family and house.
I will keep you posted....October 14th I will get this huge cast off....maybe then my spirits will rise.
