It's Not Easy Being Green...

Or blue or whatever color that big bruise on the top of my foot is! It looks like the only part of my foot that is still swollen is around my ankle...those two little bones on either side. Pardon my technical terms..lol..I have no idea what they are called! But it's bruised up pretty good...on top and all the way around and up the back of my ankle and leg. I STILL can't step on it and today while I was trying to contain an invasion of ants, I "forgot" and stepped down on it pretty hard....OUCH!! It's been two weeks already and I'm just wondering how much longer it's going to be. I'm very tired and very frustrated at not being able to move around or do what I want. I have to remind myself..daily...to be thankful that I can still walk...that this is only temporary and that I "will" eventually gain back the ability to use it unlike some people who can't walk at all. It's hard..and hard to remember that at times. Then I feel bad when I "do" remember. I feel bad for being impatient and frustrated. I must remember to be patient, to BREATHE and count to 100 when I get frustrated. I'm not a patient person by nature...so it's something I really have to work at. Miguel came home for lunch and brought some ant spray and sprayed around the house in some corners and set up some ant baits...my hero :) I know he does stuff to irritate the heck out of me...alot of times, but one thing that he always IS to me or always does for me..is calm me down. He's so patient and it takes ALOT to get a rise out of him...ALOT. Whenever I'm stressed or frustrated, he can just hug me for a while and aahhh...I'm better :) When he came in yesterday, I told him I needed a hug and he just hugged me...as long as I needed and it was better :) Okay, sappy moment over! Nothing to see here! :)
