Best and Worst Parts About Having a Broken Ankle by Ellie

THE BEST

1.  I got to experience my life-long dream of walking with crutches

 

2.  I finally have a good excuse to wear all my unmatching socks 

3.  Everyone helps me do things 

4.  People get to sign my cast

5.  My cast is pretty and matches some of my clothes

THE WORST

1.  Not being able to take a shower or play in the bath

2.  Sometimes my leg gets itchy

3.  My ankle still hurts

April 25th---the perfect date!

It's Thursday...

And I've spent the last two days taking this little chickie all over town to the pediatrician, x-ray lab, and orthopedist.  Turns out she has a broken ankle and she doesn't even know how it happened.  She randomly just started limping and falling all the time.  She has a little chip on the inside bottom of her left ankle bone (right on the growth plate).


Then today I woke up to a laundry pile up to the sky... (two days out of the house and a washing machine on the fritz will do that to me)

A kid home sick from school...

Glen off to an early work meeting...

A bowl of cream of wheat made by one of the kids for my breakfast (oops, no picture)...

And a to-do list a mile long...

Despite all the "normal" things going on though...

There's no two ways about it...April 25th is still the perfect date!

Happy April 25th to all of you and may your forecast look as perfect as mine today!
