SO I need to vent to you fine folk on WSS. As some of you
might know, my legs were broken 10 months ago yesterday, which left me lying in a farmers field (there, I added some survival situations for the forum). So yesterday I had a checkup with my surgeon. Fun times, especially when he came in and told me that my left leg (my good leg) had re-fractured
as a result of the metal plate in that leg breaking!!! So guess what- a month before my wedding (which I was able to walk and possibly dance at) I get to go in for surgery!!! YAY ME! More time in the hospital! They now have to take out the pins (6) and the plate in my leg, possibly to a bone graft from my hip onto my leg, and replace the pins and a now thicker plate. Oh, and they may have to do a new incision in my foot as after the re-fracture happened my foot and leg have been twisting and I have stretched a ligament in my foot that may need some sutures to fix. Woo hoo! 3 month setback- and my insurance was trying to force me to go back to work at the beginning of May.
I should be OK for when I go to massage therapy school in September, but this really puts a damper on my wedding plans. I will not be weight bearing on my left foot for a while and may now need crutches to walk down the isle, may be wearing an aircast on my foot, and dancing at the reception will be tricky. We are going to the Mayan Rivera for our honeymoon on the 26th of July so my activities there will be limited as well. I may be able to do some swimming but the Mayan ruins will be tough to get around, and who knows how easy it will be to kayak and visit lagoons and such. We were thinking about trying out ziplines and cliff diving but now I get to watch Juli do all of the exciting things (good thing she is easy to look at
)
Sorry for the long winded rant but I had to get it out and the fine ladies and gentlemen here have always been supportive of us that hurt ourselves. Thanks for listening to my rant and as a "reward" here are some pictures of our first camping trip with Ananda on the May long weekend (our first with her and probably last of the year now
)
