Only Me

Hard to believe I'm showing off my sexy leg like this, eh?

(No, I'm not Canadian, but an "eh" seemed appropriate! LOL)

Maybe a tan would help.  Although I'm not really a person that tans.

Or maybe just not a gigantic bruise/scrape/swollen-puffy area?

Yep, that might help.


 Only me.

Yep.  You may remember that I broke my ankle/fibula by walking across the living room three years ago.

This beauty I got from falling in a 4 ft cement hole at church last night.  Yep, church.

Hey, at least I was surrounded by lots of loving, caring people!  One that wrapped up my other (bloody) leg and took me to the hospital and stayed with me, two that took my girls and car home. Thanks so much Betty, Rachel and Brenda!!

One second I was walking on top of the floor, the next, I was in the floor.  Who knew?  If it was WWII apparently we could hide Jews under our church (shhhh....don't tell).

The other leg I can't show you yet cuz it's not quite time for me to uncover it.  It has a gash down to the bone.  Lots of blood.  Five stitches. But this is the leg that's hurting me the most at the moment.  And sore muscles.

And a headache.  Daggumit.  Just spent 3 hours in bed, I'm already on meds for pain and that bugger still isn't gone.  Better, thankfully.  But not gone.  A trip to the chiropractor may be in my future.  The kids have had the run of the house, so if homework doesn't get done quite right...well, sorry teachers!

BUT BUT BUT....

Can I say I was singing songs of PRAISE last night?  To God my Father who protected me?  Those who saw me "go down" are amazed I didn't hit my head.  And only stitches, bruises and bumps?  I didn't break anything!  Yeah!  Not even my ankle that I just had a third surgery on!

How wonderful is that?!?

So I'm sore for a week or so.  Ah well.  Things that I thought needed to get done apparently can be put off.  Like exercise.  Yep, no exercise till the stitches come out.  I was missing some skin so they pulled it together pretty tight.  They don't want it to pop open.  Me neither.

Again, enjoy the sexy leg!  =) And praise God with me.

Oh, Carey! What an awful thing to happen. I am thankful, along with you, that it wasn't worse. I do hope this problem has been dealt with so no one else gets hurt.
