Just Checking In 4/25/2011

My photography skills are sorely lacking this morning, but I needed to post. Sorry. I am just checking in to let you know I'm doing well, probably better than expected. That is not to say there isn't still pain; there is. But I am mobile, sick of watching videos on my MacBookPro, bored and hoping for a fast recovery. Some of you know exactly what I mean. It's hard for me to stay down and not have the freedom of cleaning my house as I'd like it. I shall persevere for the next few weeks and not complain...MUCH. In the meantime enjoy the terrible photo of what is next to my bed...

and know that I almost fell off my office chair getting the photo of how th' foot is coming along. ;-)

Swelling is going down rapidly, but then I keep ice on that foot for hours a day. The dark spots on the left inside heel and the outside of the foot are not shadows; they are bruising that is healing nicely.

  2. Gosh, STILL bruised. You poor sis! Sounds like you are surviving. I know LB must be taking good care of you. Hope your Easter was wonderful. We had to hunt eggs inside as the TX weather was stormy off and on all day (and night)!

  8. Wait ~ I have an idea. What about coloring books? They always make me feel better. Nothing like a BIG box of Crayolas and a coloring book. Just a thought ...

    Love again,

  9. It's good to know that you are making progress and it really won't be that long before you are back up on your feet. I do hope the pain subsides soon, though, and wish you all the best for the coming week.

  10. Hi Connie!

    How are you doing sweet pea! I haven't been by in awhile. I saw your name on someone's blog, and said, Oh, I am going to visit Connie! So sorry to hear about your foot, but glad it is healing nicely. Ooooh, the braces thing.....ouch. Hope it doesn't hurt for much longer. yes, you have a pretty smile, so you might as well take care of them. (Pretty eyes too!) I was reading some of your past posts. I agree about blogging. sometimes I don't get it. I know one person who blogs maybe 1x a week. Just a few sentences, and holidays always something for sale. Something handmade that her daughter makes. She has a lot of comments too. I spend time putting together pictures, and I get a few out of 185 people at a party???? I think I know who you mean, about only posting when she is having a giveaway. No doubt to promote her business. The other person too, who got taken for hundreds of bucks. This lady was spending hundreds of dollars a month buying her crafts, and always had to be the high bidder. After that incident, is when I think e-bay started changing the names, so you couldn't see who was bidding. She sells the stuff outright on her site now. She is such a sweetheart too. That is if it's the same person I am thinking of. What a miracle too, about that little baby with spina-bifita. Well, I think I covered everything I wanted to say. Hope all is well. E-mail me if you want a pen pal to talk to while you are recouping. My e-mail is at the end of my profile. Take care sweetie!

    Hugs,
    Debbie

  11. Hi Connie,
    Hey your foot is looking better I think...Keep it up and keep icing for swelling..I know all about foot pain, my foot still bothers me from the surgery I had.
    Bernadette loves this guy so much..she had a very bad divorce this last year and has been through so much. I am so happy this young man came into her life..
    Have a very sweet day and keep icing..
    Big hugs,Elizabeth

  13. You poor thing! I hope you are completely mended soon. It is awful to want to get up and do things and to be hampered by illness or injury.

  14. G'morn, sweet Connie ~ So glad to see you are healing, but WOW that is some bruising. May all heal quickly ... I know it is no fun being 'tied down'. Have sure missed you ... take good care.
