As bad luck would have it

Well, I am in a bit of a pickle. I fell of a ladder and dislocated my knee. I tore the ligament holding my patella so I am stuck in a knee brace. My MRI is scheduled for Monday and then surgery. I tore one if not all four ligaments. It was a freak accident and rare the doctors said because I twisted it and dislocated it. Not good news for my poor ligaments that are probably hanging on by a string...


Dusty has been my rock tho. Since I can't walk, I'm stuck in my chair day and night which is beginning to really suck. He has to wait on me hand and foot which is great, but with two kids plus me, I'm sure that's putting a lot of stress on him so I'm trying hard to do what I can for myself. 


He was so sweet and painted my nails for me on my bad foot before my follow up appt yesterday. The kids have been drawing me get well pictures...



And Gypsy has been keeping me company at night when everyone is asleep...



I'm so ready to get the surgery scheduled so I can start recovering for nursing school in August. I wanted the summer off to spend with the kids, but not like this. :(
