THESE THINGS REALLY ONLY HAPPEN TO ME!

I know, I know it's been a while since I've written. Well, there are reasons for that. Things have been absolutely unreal and not in a good way. I settled on the new house in the middle of October, life, you would think, would be going well after that. All that fun of painting, packing, unpacking, organzing, etc. So, I started with the painting. Sky blue in the office, pale shrimp in the master bedroom, a light taupe in the living room/dining room area. I recruited a friend, a short friend, to help me paint. She started on the master bedroom, I started on the office. Everything was working out really well and moving smoothly along. Well, until it was time to switch so I can work on the top portion of the master bedroom. So I'm up on a ladder, ok if I'm going to be honest step-stool, and all of a sudden BOOM, I'm on the floor throbbing in pain. Next thing I know I'm crying cause I can't get out of the house and my friends called the ambulance to come and pick my swollen foot self up. Trust me it's swollen, a huge tomatoe perched itself on the side of my foot. A trip to the emergency room later, turns out it's broken. DANG!!

This not the end of it. Trip two days later to the Orthopedist, turns out it's shattered surgery for me! So, I hopped my way over to the hospital a few days later for ankle surgery, a plate and six screws later, I'm home.

So now I'm home and can't put any weight on the damm foot and have to move in two weeks. Well, mom and dad helped (ok did everything) and I am currently laying in my bed in my pale shrimp master bedroom. I still can't put any weight on the foot and hop around with a walker. I bounce down stairs on my hiney and crawl up stairs on my hands and knees. Sad thing is it will be about another month until I can be on my own. So I'm stuck back living with my parents and staring at boxes that I can't unpack because I can't wander around the room.

So this is my life, laying with the ankle elevated and staring at boxes, living my parents in my new house but not yet getting to enjoy it! Hopefully by the new year I'll get to enjoy my first house that I actually own!!
