little treasure

Check out this little treasure that I found in my foot. The last week or so my foot has been quite itchy around the scar, Ben called me paranoid said it was fine. I was not convinced it looked like there was a tiny piece of a stitch left in one of the scars last night I made Ben really look at it. Sure enough he grabbed a pair of tweezers and this guy came right out. I expected something small like a tiny piece not this mammoth. Ben said it was cool though because as soon as he pulled it out the hole closed right up after it.



In other news I booked my flight home for Christmas on Dec. 19th I am very excited for that! I have been baking some breads for Thanksgiving, they have been making them for years. I am a little nervous that they will not turn out...
I am finally back to working out and it feels SO GOOD!

Florida pics

My camera broke so no flash on any of the pics but here are a few that kind of turned out!

Review of my trip to FL

The first week of the trip was spent in Fort Myers Ben's parents own a condo on a golf course down there. We spent some time hanging out at the pool, I went to my first dog track bet on dogs... lost 2 dollars (I only bet once) people watching was at a premium here. Worked on my golf game a little hitting some balls at the range. We headed to Disneyworld for 3 days and nights and it was awesome!! It was my first time to Disneyworld and I was like a little kid. I had a strong urge to run everywhere, we spent the first day at magic kingdom my favorite park by far. Went on all the rides, watched fireworks, parades you name it we did it all in one day. The next day we were at Epcott I watched a film on Canada in the countries and it made me love Canada even more! Went to Animal kingdom and hollywood studios. It was a lot of fun I was beat at the end of each day. We bussed around everywhere as we stayed on site at the Port Orleans hotel. It was truly amazing how large Disneyworld was I was not prepared for it, I can not wait to go back!

what I have been up to!

Alright so I have been out in CT for about two weeks now and things are going well. I am going crazy not really being to work out right now I know it will be better for me in the long run for right now I am antsy. My ankle is doing well, it still flares up when I walk around on it a lot so I have been icing lots still but overall it is feeling much better.
I have been going to work with Ben at the golf course he keeps taking me out to play a few holes I am not so good but I have a couple good shots every time we go out so I have improved.
I went to the Rascall Flats concert Saturday night with Ben's sister she got tix for her birthday and she took me it was awesome. I do wish they would have played more of their old music because I hadn't heard any of their new songs until I saw them.
We have gone to two UConn football games Ben did the tailgating cooking up a storm. Mom I picked out your signature baileys although I went with the mint chocolate kind and mixed it with hot chocolate instead of coffee.
I head to Florida tomorrow with Bens parents. We are going to hang out at their condo in Fort Myers for a week or so and then Disneyworld for 3 days!!

I am headed off to Connecticut tomorrow my week in Sacramento went well. The first few days were rough I slept about 16 hours every day and felt high on the pain medication. I made it through and had quite a few people who helped take care of me which was nice. I am going to be excited to when I can eat something besides soup and sandwiches my kitchen is quite bare. My stitches were removed yesterday and the surgeon said everything looked good. I was so excited to shower again no more baths! I can walk without the boot around the house but just to keep the swelling down I have to wear the boot for another week or so when I am out and about a lot.

successful surgery!

The day began at 530 when I got up showered and met Jill to drive me to surgery. I got in the pre-op room and was there for about an hour and a half before surgery even began! They were so thorough, I answered the same questions around 10 times; what ankle are you having surgery on, what is your name and birth date. Everyone was very nice and time flew by answering questions and staring at the cops trying to get a glimpse of the inmate who was in for surgery! The nurse told me two guards were standard if there were 3 cops I should be worried, settling thought!
The last thing I remembered was being told I was being given a little something that would make me feel like I just had a glass of wine. I think they meant 10 glasses of wine taken as shots because I don't remember being wheeled into surgery. My trainer who watched told me I was still semi conscious but I can't recall it. Waking up was good apparently many people are cold I woke up and had about 5 warm blankets on me so I was trying to throw them all off sweating. The nurse was laughing at me, she went and got me some ice chips because I kept telling her I was so thirsty. I got into a wheelchair for the first time and made it out to the car where I promptly called mom despite being really out of it.
The doctor said it went great I may try posting the pictures in a few days. He shaved off the bone spurs and then took a look at my joint which he cleaned up because there was a fair amount of damage. Don't quote me on any of this I had just woken up when he was telling me what they did.
I am going back to bed.

Celine Dion in Sac town!!!!

It has been a while I had a blast at home but had to get back to Sac for surgery bright and early tomorrow morning. I got in to Sac around 5 and my manager was saying she was going to Celine Dion I got really excited and she told me she could probably get me tickets!!!! I just got back from her concert and she was AMAZING! Such a great performer and so many good songs, it was awesome! I will be waking up in a few hours and should get to bed soon because I am hungry and thirsty.
Back to home I got to see Megs play 3 games it was so great to watch her out on the court again and her team is so cute. Had two Thanksgiving dinners Moms was amazing we had all of Megs team over and the Kyba's so there was some mild entertaining stress but Mom was an amazing cook and pulled it all off. Megs and I ran the peeling sweatshop.
I will update later with some stories from home but for now it is off to bed.
