Ankle Surgery: Day 2 February 26, 2010

The nerve block wore off at around 4:00 am and the pain began.  It was mostly localized to around the foot area.  I continued to take my lortiab, but we ended up calling the doctor after they opened and they told me to double up on my loritab so that I was taking 10 mg every 4- 6 hours.  This really helped and I also took phenegrin so that I could try to rest or sleep thru the pain.  I have been keeping it elevated, but it is hard to find a comfortable position.  I have also started to take some tylenol (the doctor said that or advil) every 6 hours.    The pain is not unbearable at this point and I am still very glad that I had this surgery done.  I will be running around with the kiddos and hubby in about 3 months and am so super excited.

I am so blessed to be surrounded by such amazing friends who are family as well as my precious little family.  I am so humbled to have this experience for many reasons including my new ankle, 2nd chance at an active life, and the opportunity to experience God’s love thru many avenues including the beautiful people God has surrounded me with.

Day 3 has begun

Do U Take Time to See What’s Inside? September 16, 2009

“U only get 1 chance to make a 1st impression” and thank God for that. I believe we all, at times, can give the wrong or misleading first impression of ourselves. Don’t you? Someone may be shy and seem stuck up, or may have been hurt alot in the past therefore put up a wall and seem rude or uncaring. We all do it b/c we r human, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t take time to go deeper. I think being human isn’t an excuse, rather a reason not make personal judgement based on outer appearance or personality. With that to say, I am by no means comparing intuition with first impressions, but that is another blog entirely. Another quote “don’t judge a book by its cover” is probably most accurate. You have to get past the cover b4 you really get to know the story. I am glad that God doesn’t judge this book by its cover and looks at my heart instead!

I am so incredibly happy. Although most people my age have gone through many friendships by now, I am just now at age 32 experiencing that. I used to think that it was sad and felt sorry for myself as I watched, what seemed like everyone around me, enjoying friendships. So now is the time and it is beautiful. I am surrounded by unbelievable people. Genuine, loving, caring, super fun, beautiful people. YAY for me I am so happy. It is not the situations that surrounnd my life that make me happy, but the unbelievable people that I am surrounded by. I am so excited I can barely contain it! YIPPPEEEEEE
