The Foot Incident Continued...

So, this morning I got up and finally decided that I was going to brave the removal and cleaning of the bandages. The Dr. that had helped me told me to wait for 4-5 days, and I figured that I better do it before I go on this camping trip. SO, I precariously bathe and clean myself up. Then when I get done I clean up my foot... as I take off the bandages I get a little worried... there was that slimy puss that she had told me to be careful of...
somethin about infection and blah blah blah... no, kidding, I really did pay attention... a little bit. So, I sit down with my trusty bottle of handy dandy hydrogen peroxide and being the "Pouring and cleaning of the wound..." and just as I pour I see something shiny. So, I look again and I gently pull THIS out of my foot.
It's about the same length as the one they got out when they cut the hole into my foot in the first place. I put it on a piece of tape, and to give you the idea of how big it is, that piece of tape is 1in in width.

So, I cleaned up the gooey goo... cleaned up the rest of it all... applied the necessary globs of neosporin and taped myself back up for another few days. I just figured that this time, since I had the additional piece of shard of glass, that I would share with you all so you wouldn't think that I was just a big boob for no reason at all.

Anyway, gonna get ready to go camping now... and don't you worry - I will be wearing my shoes the WHOLE time. :D

UPDATE ON MY FOOT

Because I know that you ALL want to know... right?

Well, I will spare you the gory pictures this time around... but here's the tale. It was terrible! Tragic in every way... there I was - in PAIN! (I know, it wasn't REALLY that horrible, but I like to whine about things so we will just say for all intents and purposes that it WAS that bad)...

Anyway, After two shots of lidocane in my foot (Which is horribly painful), the numbing set it. That's where it got fun. They scraped my foot with a scalpel, and realized that it was deep. Well duh... I told them that already. Anywho, they finally decide to do a biopsy and they took a nice chunck of flesh from my foot. (I was alright with that by the way)... and after sifting through the pinky flesh they finally find the long shard of glass. It was pointy, long, and vicious looking! I was great, until about thirty minutes ago when my foot started to regain feeling... now I am wondering what's worse - missing flesh or a shard of glass.

It will be a few days before it heals... and I won't be able to get my foot wet or swim. But, I am glad to be able to step down and not feel the sharp twinge of pain up my leg. Now it's just strictly a pain in my foot. I sure do hope that they got it all. And lucky for you guys, all you get to see is a bunch of baindaids. :D

GLASS - in my foot -

So, My sweet boy - Darrell - you know the one... you've read about him... you've heard the tales - well, he decided that on Friday he was going to be a BIG help to mommy. He sucked up a lightbulb with my vaccuum. However, the little gem did not tell Mommy that he had done this. He attempted to cover up the evidence. Later on, I walked into his room to inspect it and I stepped on a nice, fine little shard of lightbulb glass. Part of it broke off into my foot and the other part got pulled out. It was long - looked like an ice pick. I thought that I had gotten it out until I stepped flat footed and felt a sharp pain go right up my leg. Nope... apparently it's still in there...

Ooooh, we've soaked, picked, prodded, messed around with the thing... but it's up in there good. So good that we aren't even sure exactly where it is anymore... it's probably a microscopic piece that is causing me all this grief anyway huh...

It gets better though - presently, I don't have health insurance (Thanks to the changing of the jobs). So, since it hasn't come out on it's own, and I don't think that it will be coming out any time soon on it's own, and it's kind of a bother to walk around on this foot with the pain shooting up into my leg - I think that I am going to brave the "Free clinic" tomorrow.

Guess I will update you on how it goes...

SO - Below is the face of danger! BEWARE! BEWARE! :D

- My Best Friend Lori -

I love my best friend, Lori. She lives in Alaska - And though she only gets to visit every three to six months, each time she does I have the best time seeing her. It's as though hardly any time has past between us when she comes down to Utah from Alaska. Though, I have to share her with her mother in law- and her sisters in law, and all of the other people that realize how wonderful she is... but, I guess I should be nice and share her - Right?!?
ALAS! I don't want to share her! She should be MINE - OOOOH, ALL MINE!!
SMOOTCHIE - SMOOTCHIE SMOOO! ahhh - James suspicions are finally confirmed.... or not! I shall never reveal the evidence!
That's right... she's hot... she's workin' it... she's got it ... Uh huh! UH HUH!

Anyway... that's my best friend. I've known her for about 8 years now... but it seems like I have known her forever! I love her... I miss her... I look forward to her every visit. I know that I need to go to Alaska, and "Rough it" in her plumbing free environment... (Kidding). And one day I will... but in the meantime, I will replay the video I took of her at the Training Table, listen to her laugh, and sing Chaka Kahn just for her... (LOVE YOU LORI~!!)
