…and a month has gone by.

Whoops. Kinda didn’t realize a whole month has gone by since I last updated. I am glad I didn’t post on moving a month ago because it isn’t happening now. I will be moving but not as soon as I hoped and when I know much firmer plans I will update then.

E texted me a lot in December which is very unlike her but definitely welcomed. I got two videos(on Facebook for those who are friends there)and plenty of pictures. We even set a date for the first visit. January 18th! Oh whoops thats tomorrow and who is having a freak snow storm?! Oh that’s right…me. Just my luck huh?! So E and I both decided it would be better to wait it out and we will try again on the 30th. I will just be going for the day. I will most likely just be me E and Asher. Although D might be there or he might be on a business trip, not sure yet. Either way I am so beyond excited I cannot even put it into words.

I am working full time and going to school full time. Doesn’t really leave me any time for much of anything anymore. I am hoping to take the month of March off of work to have ankle/foot surgery I have put off for two years now. It was scheduled and then I got pregnant and so now it just really needs to be done. Since I started working my foot goes numb for the majority of the time and I sometimes feel like the only thing holding it to my leg is bone and skin. Sometimes I feel like there are no tendons, ligaments and muscles and I will lose the ability to put weight on it and the pain increases daily. In the mornings when I get out of bed I can barely walk because it is so painful and after work the swelling is so bad and causes bruising. Ready for this to be over with! I had all my MRI’s and labs re-done since they were originally done two years ago. The tendon has definitely torn more and is just going to keep tearing like a piece of paper unless it is fixed. The surgery is called a Brostrom procedure, pretty much exactly what they do for carpal tunnel in the wrist but for the foot. The doctor wants to talk with me about another procedure where the go through the top of the foot and reconnect the tendons and ligaments that way but that sounds like a hell of a recovery when I am already looking at three weeks no weight bearing. I need to make my final appointment with the doctor to talk all of this over and make the final decision but….I just want it over with either way.

I guess my moving plans have a lot to do with my school plans and where I go with that. So I am still all up in the air about where I am going to school and all that as of right now. I am seriously living one freaking day at a time, sometimes one hour at a time and at times minute by minute.

So that’s it…I will post pictures and videos soon!!!
