Happy Fourth of July! No I'm not American and really I should be wishing you a Happy Canada day but it's the fourth already so that's the way it goes.
For those of you who don't know last weekend I decided to play frisbee on the grass across from my house and about 30 seconds into the adventure I stepped, no, jumped onto a HUGE piece of broken glass, a wine glass to be precise. Went into instant shock didn't even scream but fell to the ground attempting to put pressure on my now gushing foot. Likely I was with friends who quickly tied up the foot to help slow the bleeding and rushed me to the emergancy room at the hospital. A parimedic helped us in and the put me in the O.R. room right off the ambulance bay, the cleaned and rebadaged the wound as best as possible and left. I proceeded to spend the next 3 1/2 hours there with Patti (yeah faithful friends) was given a shoot of something for pain, sent for x-ray's (which was rather excruciating) and then the worst part the numbing for stitches. I was given some inner stitches the dissolving kind anywhere from 5 to 10 I think and 10 on the outside. OH FUN TIMES!
Now for those of you who already knew this....I'm doing alright I am no longer in excruciating pain as of thursday and have gone to the consistnet throbbing. I still can't feel 3 of my toes or half of my foot they are mostly numb - something you can pray I get back if you wouldn't mind. I've been moving around a bit on crutches and am trying to exercise the foot abit but is still way to tender to put pressure on. It is turnning pretty colors now though. The doctor is crazy to think I could drive and walk with this...SERIOUSLY! And stitches come out on Monday. Pretty much all I've done this week is sleep and watch tv, my mom came up for 24 hours which was really nice made me some meals I can heat up and looked after me. My roommate is also doing a great job and listening to my " hey...ummm...I need this...could you do this"... ect Who knows if I'll make it back to work as I planned on quitting at the end of July due to this and the strengthening I will probably need for recovery after.
So sitting around you would think i accomplished lots of school work....well...way to tiered all the time ect. so maybe next week I can really focus on accomplishing a lot of that. And working on getting my Visa for Mongolia in as that was something else that I was suppose to accomplish this week.sigh.
Also Chris Comes next week from out East so getting to Edmonton and doing a ll the adventures we had planned might not happen quite that way, it will all work out though I know. Anyway that's about the end of my stories for the moment. I'm going to take some more drugs and drink some more water.
Until next time friends.....WEAR SHOES!
