Update on my leg

Well I went to the doctor last Friday. He told me that it's only a small fracture and put me in one of those inflatable boot thingys. I kinda walk like Frankenstein in it.

I'm really bummed, because I was going to start a new workout regime, along with Sasha's Couch 2 5K Program Hopefully, I will be able to start walking soon without the boot.

Even though, I have ye ole' boot on, Angry Husband gave a me a huge list of things to do yesterday. I had to go to Costco, the Post Office, and the Bank. Luckily, my friend, Stacie, saved me from going to the Post Office. I was lucky enough to catch her on her lunch break and handed off my packages to her. I think she goes to the Post Office as much as a I do. She happily accepted my packages along with some other goodies I had for her in my car.

Stacie also saw what a mess my car is. With Angry Toddler being sick and this broken ankle, I haven't had much time/energy to clean up my car and the garage. Plus, it's been raining and I need a good carwash. The back cargo area is full of stuff from Target, Costco, and even a Gap bag.

So today, I'm going to concentrate on some more Spring cleaning.

Oh, and I also want to Thank the Writer's Strike for one thing lately, Good Sleep. Since none of my shows have been on, I have been going to bed at like 9:30pm and not midnight. No wonder I was wide awake at 5am this morning.

Yep It's Broken

So after some x-rays at the Urgent Care. It was determined that I broke a small bone in my right ankle.

The doctor put a temporary splint on my leg until the swelling goes down. She then gave me an orthopedic's number to call about casting.

Seriously, this totally sucks. I can't do anything. I can't drive. I can barely hobble around in these crutches...

It's a medical day for us AGAIN!

So Angry Toddler is indeed sick. He was diagnosed with an ear infection again and some upper respiratory junkola. They doped him up with antibiotics, oral steroids, and a breathing treatment. He crashed early last night and sleep through to the morning.

He woke up, bright and early, with lots of energy. Unfortunately, I had to give him another breathing treatment at home, which made him extremely hyper. So from 10am-12noon, AT went through a total steroid rage. With all these drugs in him, he went friggin crazy. OMG he was mean, hitting, scratching, and biting. My friend Stacey came over with her daughter to entertain for a bit, Angry Toddler behaved then.

When Stacey was gonna leave, I said, yea, I need to go to the post office and stuff. So I opened the door to the garage to put AT in the car. AT ran from me, and was hiding behind the car. I went to run after and slipped on our garage stairs, then I tripped on a rug below our stairs, and then I ended up on the ground. Poor Stacey had to help me up. All I was doing was screaming, "Umm, I think I broken my f-ing ankle". I limped back into the house.

I sat there for awhile and felt like I could move a bit better. Stacey put AT in his carseat and buckled him in. I went to the post office, and bank. My ankle hurt a little, but I dealt with it.

So, it's 4:30PM now, and my ankle is killing me!!!! As soon as Angry Husband gets home from work, I'm going to the Urgent Care to get my ankle looked at. I hope nothing major is wrong with it.

Stay tuned...
