Today was a pretty rough day for me. I think I might have slept wrong because my foot was hurting extra bad today... I cannot wait until I can sleep for longer than 4 hours without waking up!!!! It's rather frustrating. Sometimes it's the pain that wakes me up, other times it my ice pack falling from my foot.
We went over to gmas (Gramma and Grampa's ;) haha! -inside joke with the family) to celebrate Father's Day and it wasn't as enjoyable as it could've been, sadly :/ I would've rather spent time with Daddy alone at home or out somewhere but thats ok. I love my family! And it was great seeing them! I just didn't like the fact that I couldn't help or really do anything and I was exhausted. And every little thing frustrated me. No one really understands that it hurts to walk, so when you tell me to walk faster, yeah, that's gonna bother me!! That happened a lot today at gmas simply because there are a lot of us there and when the food is in the kitchen, so is everyone else! And I felt that it was important to visit with the family before heading home, so I was kind of wishing everyone would decide what we were doing but they took forever to decide we would play games. I stayed for three round of "Three truths and 1 lie" and we shared many great laughs and it was fun. But I was beat and needed to elevate and ice my foot. And I couldn't take my pain meds until I got home because I can't drive after taking them haha!
Which takes me to the fact that I can drive now!!! :) Yay! I still have to take extra precaution because I can't put full weight on the bottom of my foot but I drive by putting the pressure on the outside of my right foot. I make sure to stay far back from other cars so I never have to slam on my breaks haha!
Physical Therapy: I will start physical therapy in about two weeks. I called my doctor last week sometime and they have yet to get back to me about where my insurance will be accepted. So right now, I'm just waiting to hear back from them! I will go to PT to increase the range of motion in my toes and foot and to decrease the swelling. I have been icing and elevating my foot as much as possible and the swelling still has not gone down!! It's rather frustrating. I am excited about physical therapy, mostly because insurance will cover it haha! And I really hope it helps.
It is rather frustrating not being able to exercise but I have been doing upper body exercises, but nothing too strenuous ;P
In July, Robby and I will be driving down to Savannah, GA for Angela and Patrick's wedding!!! This is their adorable website that Angela designed. She is such a super woman! She is doing a fantastic job planning their wedding. Patrick is a co-worker of Robby's and Robby is one of the groomsmen. I am really hoping I will be completely healed and able to walk normally haha and that I will be able to put my feet in the sand on the beach! I am so excited to take a real vacation with my wonderful boyfriend. It will be our first as a couple :) I will be sure to take lots of picturessss, I promise! I cannot wait to share the trip with you all! :) So stay tuned!!!
