Feel free to laugh yourselves silly…. I did.

Actually…. No wonder we are ALL jacked.

I know you’ve seen this before…..
But I had to put this up for ME.
This makes me happy.

**HOLY CRAP!**

More of the bad.
Don’t you just love that I get on the internet nowadays with the sole purpose of letting you know how badly my life stinks?
I do.

Anyway.
I went to the Doctor.
Do you think that I have good news for you?

Please note the cast AND the gray sweats.
Clearly. This is not a happy time for me.

The fracture is still healing but for some reason my nerves are not exactly receiving that message. The fracture site is still rather sore and tender and I am experiencing displaced pain throughout my entire foot.
Vicodin, anyone?

The pain has actually gotten worse over the last week or so and I have been one big, fat, miserable soul. At this point I am to be in the cast another four weeks. With no walking. Which is no big deal to me anymore considering that any time that I am upright my foot swells up and turns a very pretty shade of purple. Which is promptly followed by invisible pins and needles stabbing the bottom of my foot.

I am being referred to an anesthesiologist to see if I have some sort of nerve disorder which is associated with the break. In a nutshell, I should not be experiencing the pain that I am having this late in the game. (Well, I should also have been completely healed about a month ago…. so go figure.) Hopefully this anesthesiologist can help get me out of pain so that this fracture will heal completely and I can walk again.

I hate to say it, but I have lost a lot of hope. At this point I have visions of me walking with a cane for the rest of my life. I know that thought is absolutely absurd and ridiculous, but I really cannot shake this hopelessness. Time has taken its toll on me and at this point I am very up and down in regards to my happiness. It is becoming obvious that my mental state is doing nothing for my healing. Basically, I need to cheer up. But how to do that is just a big fat mystery to me.

Due to all of this non-sense I am going to stop designing. It is hard to sit at the computer and I just keep falling behind. I think I will start back up again once this is all over…. but I am not sure how long that will be. This was the last design that I did. Little did I know that it would be the last one to come out of my shop for the next little while.

I just wanted to take a minute to tell you all just how crappy my luck (read: health) is.

Let’s see…..
I broke my foot nine weeks and two days ago.
I am healing as if I were forty years older that what I really am.
But at least I’m healing, right? (Yeah. That’s what people say to me.)

Two days ago I woke up to a horrendous sore throat.
A sore throat that has white spots on it.
It hurts to eat, breathe, and talk.
Oh no. Nononono. It’s not strep.
It’s something else….. some infection.

Today I woke up with some under the skin infection on the palm of my hand.
WHA? It hurts. And since I have to use the crutches with my HANDS….. things aren’t going so well.

I really hate to complain, but….
CAN’T A GIRL CATCH A BREAK?????????
(Wait for it…..)

Apparently I CAN catch a break!
Monday, in the midst of my horrible sore throat, I got these PJ’s in the mail from KIMMY!!!!

Internet friends are the best!
