Foot Update

After a very long hospital visit yesterday I have my cast off YAY! but have to stay non weight bearing for another 6 weeks as the consultant isn't sure how good a purchase the screw has. So back in 6 weeks for more x rays and a decision on whether to operate again to remove the screw or not. Hopefully or not LOL. Felt very deflated when I got home as I had the vision of popping on a shoe and walking off (ever the optimist) anyway we've cut my blue surgical shoe thingy around and it now feels like I have more support and had a very very long shower so foot feels much more comfortable.

So overall not as good as I was hoping but so bad either .....

I did a very quick layout yesterday and I mean quick, only took about 1 hour unheard of for me LOl. It's from an online class here



Bad photo it is straight really. Photo's are of Ben and my brothers boys Lewis and Owen. Neither photo was good enough to use on it's own but together they show what fun they were having.

Sandy is still very well!

Jim is moulting mega time, Eric took him outside and brushed him for over 30 minutes and filled a carrier bag full of white hair but still there is white hairs floating around the house like a snowstorm because of the fans...and why is it that all 6 dogs have decided they simply have to sleep in our bedroom in this heat!

New plaster

I went to hospital yesterday and had the cast removed, stitches out, x ray and a smaller cast put back on. Back in 4 weeks so fingers crossed it heals. Unfortunately I have to remain non weight bearing as much as possible, so me and the zimmer frame are still firmly attached *groan*.

Made loads of cards last week as it was easier than trying to get to scrapping stuff but yesterday I just had to scrap and luckily still had a class kit from Ang to play with.

Even though the photo was awful with the light bleaching it out I had to use it LOl... Ben doesn't yet understand that he really shouldn't open every one's cards and presents and blow out the candles when it's not HIS birthday LOL.




Papers are from basic Grey "Granola"

Poor Sandy Woo is on house arrest with me, one of her hips has got incredibly stiff over the last few days and this morning she could hardly walk, so I see yet another trip to the vets on the horizon.

BORED

I am bored and fed up!

Feel like the whole world is doing something except me !!!!!

Pain isn't too bad, just not being able to get around and do stuff, anything even housework would be better than nothing. I read, I watch TV and I EAT OMG have I been eating another reason to be fed up!!!

Please let me get a smaller cast on Tuesday.....

Thank you

To everyone who has sent messages asking how I am.

Op went well but the bone was not so good, so I have a screw in my foot which may or may not have to come out. Plaster is huge and much bigger than expected but hopefully I'll get a smaller one next week. Surgeon rang yesterday to say the fluid they drained out of foot is infected so a course of antibiotics is need YUCK! other than that I'm fine, completely bored as getting round is a) frowned upon as foot needs time to set and b) bloomin difficult LOL.

Mr T has as always been a star! taking over the running of the house and tending my every whim. I am of course trying hard to be a good patient LOL.

Little Ben is convinced that either the dogs or chickens have bitten my toe off. No idea why he's come up with this idea.

Been making a few cards, reading a bit and watching the tennis and sleeping alot....

back to hospital Tuesday.....
