Good and Bad

First of all, Stephanie you are my life saver and a true God send.  I love you!!!  I enjoyed the lunch, the time with the kids, and the time with you.  You made my day. 
Today has been an odd day of ups and downs.  On the upside, I had a great lunch thanks to my wonderful sister stephanie.  She came from Logansport just to feed me and I so appreciated it.  I also found out today that I got accepted into the LPN program at school.  I will be a nurse.  I’m psyched about that.  I’ve worked hard for it and got it.

Okay, onto the downs.  I went to the doctor today.  It didn’t go bad by far.  I just got my bandage changed.  It just all dawned on me today how hard it is to get around.  My good leg ends up burning from carrying all my weight and it totally wears me out.  In order for me to go places,  I’ll need a wheelchair.  It’s just depressing.  Jason is sulking around because of everything having to deal with his family.  He was even crying.  I hate to see him like that.  The only time the man has cried was when his dad was ill.  It sucks. 
I guess what I’m saying is things are worse than I anticipated.  I want out of the house in the worst way.  It’s only been 3 days and I’m already going crazy.   I just want to go to the video store and I can’t because I don’t have the strength  to make it around and they don’t have anywhere to sit down.  I know things will get better.  I’m going to call my aunt and see if she still has my grandmothers wheelchair.  If she does, my life will get easier.  I’ll be non weight bearing until Nov. 6th when I get my staples out.  The good thing is that my leg does look good.  It’s not red or real swollen either.

I did follow my diet plan today and stayed within my points as well.  I’m very proud of that.

    Girl, I feel so bad for you. I can only say those famous words, “this too shall pass.” Keep the faith and don’t be afraid to ask for help from those around you.

    Sometimes life can really overwhelm you and you wonder how much more you can take then someone will do something nice for you and you realize that there is still good in the world. I am just like you if you want to make me cry just have a man cry in front of me…it gets me everytime.
    Just give him a big hug and tell him you love him, that is really all you can do.

    Still on my prayer list and hope tomorrow is better.
    Debbie

    I am always here for you. a W/c would be great. We could push you around until you can walk. No problem about lunch. I know you would do the same for me if I needed you. I am trying to decide what to bring you tomorrow. May just be a surprise. Who knows. Also CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! I know how it feels to get that acceptace letter telling you that you got in.
    Give J a big hug and tel him I am thinking about him. I do believe everything will work out. I know how hard it is to find out your grandma is dying. No matter how old you get, it still hurts. Love you all.
