Double Trouble Update

I was just looking over my blog and realized a lot of progress has been made since my injuries. I am now bootless on my right foot. I've been able to wear a regular shoe for a couple of weeks now. I am back to driving and teaching my Primary class, which I love. I will probably have the boot on my broken ankle for awhile longer, my grandkids keep asking me when is it going to get better. I still use crutches, but around the house I cheat and hobble around with out them. In about three weeks I may be able to get a smaller and lighter boot, it's going to take awhile to heal because when the bone broke it split apart, so it's going to take awhile to fill in with enough calcium to heal properly. It's actually the bone just above the ankle that broke. I think it's called the fibia. Anyway, it doesn't hurt to much anymore except when I am on it alot then the swelling and throbing are pretty uncomfortable. But it is so much better, I'm very greatful.

Weston's Blessing

Sunday was a beautiful day. Drew gave Weston a beautiful blessing and we enjoyed being at church with our kids and grandkids so much. The whole weekend went by too fast. I have great pictures and will post some later today when Faren helps we get them into the computer, just couldn't wait to share my excitement about the blessing and being with my family.

Housing Crisis

Good news, our home in AZ has been rented. It has been a year now that we have tried to sell it and then rent it. It was a hard decision to rent it, because it is a nice home and we put a lot of work into it. We are glad an LDS family is renting it because Faren built me a food storage room in our third garage that only an LDS family could appreciate. And we feel they will take care of it. The housing market in AZ is one of the worst hit in the country. Around the time we tried to sell it prices plummeted greatly making it hard for people to get out from under their morgages and sell their homes and has resulted in millions of foreclosures. Unfortunately, the family renting our home found themselves in that situation. Our house is in a great neighborhood on a cul-da-sac and they have children so I hope they will be as happy there as we were. I hope that our country can rebound as soon as possible from job loses, home forclosures and what ever else is threatening our way of life. If you find yourself if any of these situations my heart goes out to you. And we are here for each other. Things will get better, we need to be strong and like my dad said, be grateful for our testimonies and stay close to our Heavenly Father.

Double Trouble

Two and a half weeks ago I had a little tumble down some stairs. I broke my left ankle and a bone in my right foot. I have two huge boots on my feet a pair of crutches and a bruise on one of my knees the size of a softball. I can't take the boot on my left leg off even to sleep, it has to stay on except to ice it once in a while, is was that or a cast. I quickly agreed to leave the boot on in exchange for a cast. Bryan has given me supplements to help with swelling and bone healing. Faren has been teaching my primary class, since getting around is very difficult and a little painful!! Adam has been taking me to dr. appts. Heather has been feeding us. My mom and dad and Christy and Parker came for a visit last weekend to help us celebrate Bryce's babtism, and they were so much fun and great company for me. Everyone's been so helpful I really appreciate it. I'm doing good, I just sit around with my feet up and try not to get bored out of my mind.
