Recovering

I am bored out of my mind. I was able to start using the laptop in bed today. Before that I couldn't stay awake that long. I'm still in bed most of the time. The pain is easing up. I still can't put any pressure on that foot for another day. Then I can use it slowly still with the crutches. I have to not try and push it. If I start walking on it too soon then scar tissue could build up. Since I have a history of scar tissue I am being extra cautious.

Jim went back to work today, but has called checking in on me. He and the kids have been great nurses to me. I've got books and magazines from the library stacked up by my bedside. April was sweet and brought me some beautiful pink tulips. That was an extra special treat since I don't get to go to the tulip festival this year.

Here we go again...

Tuesday is my foot surgery. Another surgery in the Earhart house. Combined between us this will make 15! I've got a couple of days off my feet and then crutches for 2-3 weeks. No fun! I thought crutches were cool in high school (weird, I know!) but they just don't fit into my mommy plan. The family is very supportive and up to the challenge of helping out. Cameron has chosen 2 stuffed animals to be my medical officers. Both have been through previous surgeries with the kids. So, Frazier ad Pandy will help take care of me.

Alex is off to spend a couple of nights with his friend and go to a Newsboys concert. He's pretty excited. Cameron is excited to spend some time with daddy. He's really been wanting to work in the basement with daddy. Maybe they'll get to do some of that. I need to have some of these toys moved down so I can get through with my crutches!

More Crazy Spring Weather

Yesterday we had a storm come through. Lightening, thunder and a ton of hail! It was pea sized and coming down so hard it looked like snow. Cameron still had his anxieties, but it was mixed with excitement. He was proud of himself. I couldn't get Alex to go outside for a picture. He was comfy, cozy reading on the couch. So, here is Cammy out in the hail covered ground! Maybe we'll actually get some spring weather here soon!
