Subject: Disneyland was awesome!!! We all had such a great time, we took my mom with us and we have lots of relatives down there so it was nice for her to visit them, she hasn't seen them for a while. I wish I could live in Disneyland. If I lived there I would work at Disneyland.

[> [> Now today....today was the bitch. I broke a bone in my foot. And I'm on a non-weight bearing cast for 6 to 8 weeks which is lovely because my house is basically on four floors. Even all my bathrooms are down or up stairs. I was just walking down the stairs with a laundry basket and thought I hit the landing but surprise there was one more step! It twisted and I heard it crack. Excrutiating pain for about 10 mins then nothing but heat. No pain. Now I know what it must be like to be in the eye of a hurricane. *g* Such calm. hahaha. No real pain still as long as there is no weight on it. There is a bit of throbbing right now, can't wait for it to get worse!!! Oh well, what are you gonna do. The kids are done their winter activities and we don't start going to the lake for 6 weeks so it's pretty good timing actually. *g* Other than I finally started back at yoga this week after missing months with sick kids. That's a bummer. -- Jodi YoB, 22:52:31 03/15/12 Thu

[> [> [> Oh dear Jodi! broken bones and busy Moms don't go together too well --I remember my broken elbow years ago---please take help from your Mom and DH MAKE them help you so that you can heal! Cuz if you don't stay off it and follow drs orders healing will take longer and your summer will be a bitch! Pain free vibes! -- BetsyG, 12:39:24 03/17/12 Sat

[> [> [> Crap!@ So sorry about the broken bone in the foot. I was looking at having bunion surgery in January and the recovery from that is awful. Foot problems are difficult since you need to use your foot all the time, unlike some other broken bones. I hope the recovery goes well and soon you're at the lake, glad to be well again. -- Denise, 14:05:19 03/17/12 Sat

[> [> [> [> Yeah, I've been putting off knee surgery for 15 years to avoid just this. *g* -- Jodi YoB, 15:01:53 03/18/12 Sun

[> [> [> OMG, what an awful thing! Sening healing vibes - and take help wherever you can get it, you need to heal. (((Jodi))) -- Maria, 20:48:01 03/17/12 Sat

[> [> [> [> Thanks everyone!!!! ((((Hugs)))) I'm doing fine, I've had no pain at all other than my arms from the crutches. That's okay, my arms needed work anyway. And I can thank yoga for the balance and strength when I am on one leg. *g* it's just 100% inconvenient. I can't get anywhere fast, can't carry anything, it sucks asking for help. Going to get a knee walker to help scoot around the main floor so I can at least be functional in the kitchen. Trying not to micro-manage from my perch. Y'all think G is wonderful right? Well, caregiving is not his strong suit. He gets pissy. With me, with the kids. My mom is a dream though, this is what she was born to do. And I have awesome neighbours who are all just straggling home from their own holidays and offering help when they find out. So, it's going to be a long 6 to 8 weeks but we'll make it. I think. *g* I see the specialist this week so hoping for positive news. -- Jodi YoB, 12:52:47 03/18/12 Sun

[> [> [> [> [> Yikes Jodi, that blows!. Don't let g guilt you. Take the opportunity too delegate. Quick healing vibes headed your way. -- Tam, 14:37:22 03/18/12 Sun

[> [> [> [> [> [> Yeah, G hates verbal requests, always has. If it's his idea great, if not, make a list. Well, bring me the fucking pen and paper then, A@@hole!!!!!! *g* -- Jodi YoB, 14:58:30 03/18/12 Sun


[ Edit | View ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Ya know what this is what text messages and ipad notes are for --that way the whole verbal communication doesn't get in the way ---I found that out with my foot when I had to delegate--much simpler to use electronic communication and got his attention faster! -- BetsyG, 18:13:37 03/18/12 Sun

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Yes, he is much kinder when I am texting instructions. Wonder what he will think of me doing it 4 feet from him. Connor is now sick (has only missed 3 days of school all year but OF COURSE he is sick now), the dishwasher broke this morning and we have a new roof going on starting tomorrow that we put off until spring. So we are all going to be home convalescing agin tomorrow to the sounds of that. OMG, the shit is hitting the fan all at once. And all I want to do is laugh about it, maybe that's what is pissing him off?? Lol! -- Jodi YoB, 21:30:39 03/18/12 Sun

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> And to be fair he is ridiculously busy with work, I think that is where all the stress is coming from but I can't do shit all about any of it. Between him and my mom (our office manager) they decided he should stay home and she will go in. I feel bad but I can't feel guilty. -- Jodi YoB, 21:35:04 03/18/12 Sun

[> [> [> Oh no Jodi........ OUCHIE!!!!!!!!!!!! As far as G saying..... make a list...... Brian USE to do that, and I said, do you have y our boss make you a list at work? I told him to make his own f'in list! :) We went through this with Brians ankle a few years back.... big pain in the doompa! I hope things ease down soon..... what a mess! -- M&M, 11:07:06 03/19/12 Mon


[ Edit | View ]

[> [> [> [> Yeah but honestly I was much happier when I made a list and saw him cross it off with the kids and their stuff with my broken elbow cuz really he had NO clue about some stuff!!! It really is amazing when MOM is DOWN how clueless dad can be about the everyday stuff! -- BetsyG, 17:26:07 03/19/12 Mon

[> [> [> [> [> No kidding. Today was better (so says I). G fixed the dishwasher, Connor is back to school tomorrow and I got my knee walker that gets me off my crutches on the main floor and lets me boot around the kitchen upright. So I have my kitchen back. But I will still need the groceries coming in. My super lovely retired neighbours have been wonderful and will even take me grocery shopping and push the buggy for me they said. *g* I will take them up on it once or twice, they will love it . Going to my other neighbours for tea tomorrow while Nate plays with her kids. We'll make it. I've emailed Connor's disability social worker about getting help in the afternoons, light housekeeping, laundry, groceries and then supervising kids until Grant gets home. Connor goes on spring break for two weeks soon so I'd like to have something in place by then. Didn't like the looks of my foot today, more swolen and some blood pooling, so pretty sure that's a sign to slow down, ice and elevate. -- Jodi YoB, 00:01:54 03/20/12 Tue

[> [> [> [> [> [> Get thy foot above thy heart and put lots of ice packs on it!!! Hang in there, this too shall pass!!! I was lucky that when I broke my legs (1988 & 1992--NOT at the same time) I was single and could go home to Mom & Dad and be babied! Will be sending healing vibes! -- CarolE, 22:38:17 03/20/12 Tue
