happy saturday!

Good morning all! Hope everyone has a great weekend. Again sorry for my abscence on the board as of late, jsut been working, and now, well, not so much working. The pain in my foot kept getting worse and worse, so when my foot was twice its normal size hubby and daddy said, thats it, get to the ER. I hadn't wanted to go because I knew they would make me do xrays, and I was worried about the baby. They covered me up really well with lead tho to keep the baby safe during xray. No dislocation or fractures or anything, bad thing is they dont really know what it is, and have decided it is most likely tendonitis brought on by pregnancy and that im to be off work for the next 3 days. Im supposed to follow up with my MD on mondya, but she's clear in carmel, and i cant drive like this, and hubby works so i guess ill just hope it goes away and i can go back to work tuesday. I had wanted to go yard saling for baby stuff this weekend, but now im stuck at home with my foot elevated and iced for the next three days. Sherri & I could be peas in a pod! Speaking of which, how are you feeling lady?

Darrah, Good morning hon! I'm so sorry about your foot. Do as the ER told you to. I know it's a pain, but 3 days is way better than 6 weeks. For myself, the pain is still there..but then, it's only been 1 week. The worse thing has been me & dh getting on each other's nerves. Oh..and he probably thinks I'm the pickiest eater alive. Foot pre-op, I always waited on him so I guess he never paid attention to what I gave him or what I had myself. For example, he gives me a salad that has like 5 bites of lettuce in it..when I asked why not a full salad bowl (which holds ~1 cup of lettice), well, he didn't want to give me 'too much'. But then, he fixes my plate with hot dogs (fat-free, only 40 cal each!) but does 2 of them..buns and all. Okay...the buns were lite too, only 80 cal each, but eat 2 of them??? Keep the 2nd one and give me my greens!!! I definitely feel like I'm being fruit deprived here too. I've gotta figure out something different for some of this stuff before I have the 2nd foot done. If I don't, my feet may be better, but my marriage may be over. If I say ANYTHING about what he gives me to eat (including burnt popcorn), he gets bent out of shape. So...physically, pain still here. Emotionally, stressed out! When I thanked him for something last night..dinner? ice packs for my foot? I don't remember now which..he made the comment 'you can make it up to me'. What the hell does he think I've been doing every since we've been together & he lost most of his vision??? Hell, he should be looking at it that now is a time that he could repay me for all I do for him every single day! Sorry. Told you. "Stressed out"!! I hope you all have a good day...and I hope I have a better one. Sherri

Good Morning everyone! I haven't been around much this week - been reading the posts, but haven't had much time to reply to anything. Darrah - keep that foot elevated. Hopefully it's just a sprain and will be better soon! Sherri - You make me laugh! My DH kinda drives me crazy during surgery/recovery time, too. Although, mine wants to smother me with attention and all the time I'm thinking "Would you just go back to work and leave me alone!!". I told him for my knee surgery that I only needed him to be off 1 day. Let's hope I don't REALLY need him, now! I was hoping to do the Loop for Life today (and maybe run into Linda), but didn't think my knee would enjoy that long of a ride. It screams at me after 15-20 min on the bike.... Oh well, it'll be better soon! Hope everyone has a great day! Bren

Bren, Had a wonderful day for the loop!! we arrived early and were right up front behind all the sponsers!!! The weather was great and I had a blast!! Sherri YOU Slay me!!! My hubby takes out the trash and says see that I have done for you...Or look... I picked up my place at the couch... I work 5 days a week, take down the garbage, pay the bills on time, wash and fold clothes, grocery shop,mow and weedeat the yard, shovel snow..wash the car and the bikes.. fix dinner or choose where we are going out to dinner..Pick out all christmas and birthday and wedding gifts for everyone and he gets whiney when I don't praise him for keeping his part of the living room clean... Darrah, you take care of yourself!!! I have never heard of foot tendionitis just because your pregnant.. thank goodness it wasnt broke... Linda

Good Morning! I tried to wait....I really did, but I just couldn't! I ended up calling my friend last night and making the trip to St. V's women's hospital to see my new niece!! She is soo precious and perfect! Darrah you are in for such a treat! It's hard to believe she is really here! Just got back from getting my nails done and wandering Target. We are meeting Eric's family for dinner at Olive Garden at 4PM. I am going to go fix my hair and then maybe lay down for an hour or so. I love my naps!! Hope everyone has a great weekend! Sam
