Vent

This post is mostly just to vent. Something I forgot to add in the catch up post a few days ago was that I had foot surgery back in October. It was a combination of several injuries but basically...they removed some bone, scar tissue, repaired my two major tendons that were "shredded" (that's a medical term!) and lengthened my calf muscle.

It doesn't sound like a lot but it was pretty major. Its been 5 months and I am not even close to being recovered. I went in for a check up today and my orthopedic surgeon I am no where near healed to where I should be. I'm only about 2 months along...again its been 5 months. He said I scar a lot worse than most people, which I knew, and that the new scar tissue is causing some problems. So basically we just have to wait and see what happens in the next few months before we can make a decision about what we need to do. I was ordered to stop physical therapy and given a script for pain pills.

Ugggghhh.


It's been very frustrating. I can't hike. I can't run. I can't play kickball on the team Mike and I signed up for a few months ago. I can't do anything! It's just been a huge downer and kind of killed my mo-jo for the day :(

On another note, Jack has been teething like crazy the last few days. He's been running a terrible fever and I can't get him to eat anything. We are having success at this very moment. I'm feeding him a banana as I type this. Pffft! Who said I can't multi-task?
