A week from today is my surgery.... it's getting close and we still have no idea were all the money is going to come from (we have to pay most of it the day of). I'm not so much worried about the surgery; my job is easy there - I just have to get some drugs and go to sleep for a while. It's the afterwards part that I'm a little nervous about - crutches for two weeks does not sound good. But should all be worth it in the long rung...I'll be able to walk with a normal shoe and without pain once everything is all done :) Plus, I get to see my mommy next weekend.
It's been a long week and hopefully will be a relaxing weekend.

A Short Update
My ankle still is really sore. All of the bruising and swelling is gone, but I have very little ROM and still can't bend three of my toes. I go back to see the doctor tomorrow, so we'll see what he says.
I have another fun little injury too. On Sunday we had our Valentine Banquet at church and I was in charge of all the food. On Sunday morning I was starting to get things ready. I was opening cans with the little poppy top things. One of them got stuck and so I yanked on it and somehow my finger go in the way. I got blood all over the floor, but none in the food:) It gushed for a while, so I let someone take me to the medical aid unit and I got three shots and then four stitches. Most of the pain is gone now, but I just have to keep the stitches covered..and it's on my right hand, so it's pretty much just a pain now.
Brent's doing well... not hurting himself. But his car was sick and it cost a lot to make it better. We tried doing it ourselves, and even had a friend who is a mechanic come over and help. But because of where the alternator is in his car, it was too big of a job to do in the driveway. We had to have it towed too because the battery was so fried. But after way too much money and a couple hours, it was all fixed and Brent was happy to have his car back and working well.
