I'm Baaaack!

Passwords. I can't remember any of them! I finally reset my password so that I can post on my own blog. How sad is that!

Anyway, today is an important day at our house. It is the three month anniversary of "the Christmas light incident". On the evening of December 5, I was laying in bed when I received a call from Carlos. He said "can you please come outside?" and I said "well no, because I'm in my skivvies" (is that how you spell skivvies?) Then he said the 6 words that began our adventure. "I think I broke my foot". So naturally I got dressed and hollered for Alyssa and we went outside and what we saw was so pitiful. The ladder was laying in the driveway, Christmas lights were strewn about and my dear husband was injured. We helped him into the house and when we took his shoe off it was obvious that we were going to the hospital.

So they took some Xray's and we waited for the news. One of the nurses came in and asked if we had seen the Xrays and when I told her we hadn't, she literally dragged me behind the counter at the nurses station where all the other nurses were gathered gaping at Carlos' Xrays. To make a long story short, the orthopedic doctor there said it was the worst foot break he had seen and referred us to a specialist. We really had hoped they could cast it up and send us home but that wasn't happening.

So two surgeries later (including screws and pins) and a two casts and a boot, it has been three long months. I didn't realize how much went into the man work thing, including all the driving, snow shoveling, trash removing, not to mention all the nursing care. Good grief. So this morning it snowed and for the first time Carlos was able to go outside and use his monster snow blower for the first time (or as my SIL has dubbed it, BASB...it took me a minute to get that) I was so excited not to have to do the shoveling that I took my camera out and snapped some pictures! I will try and post them, but since it's been so long since I posted anything, I might not remember how! Anyway, hooray for the three month anniversary of "the incident"!!!
