Break update:(

The pictures don't have to do with the break but I can't post without a picture. We are all tired of pictures of my leg!
We have also had a little bug in the house. Deegan and Paul got the flu and Bronchitis. Deegan had to wear this at the Dr. office and brought it home. I thought he looked cute. He would only let me take one picture.

Here is Presten using the crutches:)

My Dr. apt. last month showed that my break was not healing like it should so they talked about me having to put a bone stimulator on my leg. It hooks on to your leg and makes the blood move fast which makes the bone grow more. If that didn't work then I was going to have to surgery again and get all of my screws taken out and that would make my bones touch and should fix it. Well I went to the Dr. got more xrays yesterday. Good news my bone is starting to look good so we are not going to do the bone stimulator. Then he said that I could start wearing shoes at therapy- which is good. Then I said that I wasn't sure how I was going to do that because it hurts to put socks on. I still have to sleep with my boot on cuz when the blankets touch my big toe it almost brings me to tears. Well you did mess it up really bad- you dislocated it, broke it and jammed it. It was ugly!! My big toe was like the length of my pinky toe~not pretty:) So he sent me back down for xrays of it. He says I need to have surgery on it to get rid of the pain. I will always have trouble with it, it still won't bend I will get arthritis but I won't have constant pain. I go back in 4 weeks for more xrays and then we will go from there. This has been the biggest pain in the butt!! I keep telling myself one I will be normal again, HOPEFULLY!!:)

  2. Hayley, that really sucks! I hope that you don't end up having to have another surgery. This has been a long journey huh? All for a motorcycle ride! ;) Seriously though, if you need anything let me know!
