So it has been way past time for me to make another post. We have had a very difficult month and I haven't quit figured out how to share my month with you all. Every time I start to write about all the has happened here in our tiny town I end up erasing it. I guess I still don't know how to express it all.
So I will just leave it at that. I will share the fact that when flynt and I went to go to Tim's (He was the other guy that was ed next door to us) funeral we got to Flynts parents house at around 11:30pm and we were unloading the van when I hoped off the porch to get more stuff out of the van and I fell and heard the loudest POP! Then of course followed with large amounts of pain. OOOO that hurt!! I iced my foot and went to bed. We had planned on going to that funeral and ended up spending that Saturday hanging out at the E.R. in Safford. The Doctor there said that he thinks I tore the tendons in my ankle. It was sooooo huge and ugly at this point. So my sweet brother Ryan made a tobacco pulses (sp?) for my ankle when I got back home and wow that really helped with the swelling.
I just recently went back to the Doctor because my ankle still really hurts. So he ordered another xray. He also thinks it is my tendons and said that is sometimes take longer for the tendons to heal then it take a break to heal. So I need to be patient.
My most recent disaster happened last night. We were decorating our Christmas tree, and I am rather short so I got on a chair (I know not a smart plan when you have a bad ankle) to put some ornament up high. Well after I put them up I naturally wanted to admire them from a far. So i started to get off the chair and lost my balance and fell again. Nice! So of course I really hurt myself and cried while the kids were all so scared cause mom was crying. Luckily Flynt had caught part of my fall as I was going down so my ankle made it out ok. The reason I was crying wasn't the injured ankle it was because as I was falling my chair got a hold of my bottom. Yes this maybe to much for the weak stomached. The top of the chair went right up my rear end. Ewwwww that was so painful. Flynt says that is hurt so bad because square things aren't supposed to go up there. So not only do I hobble when I walk I now , walk like a stick is up my rear (oh wait a stick was up my rear), so now I cant sit without extreme pain. It almost reminds how my bottom feels after giving birth to a big 8lb 11 oz baby (that is Brooke). Flynt says that I am quit the sight to see. So after all the commotion I went to see the damage and this experience tore a hole in my under garments. Haahhaa. So I will end there with this long post.
