Bunion Blog 3

I apologize for not posting. You would think that being home and confined would give me tons of time to blog. And, it did, I had plenty of time, and plenty of boredom! Nothing was happening and blogging in a bored, drug induced haze didn't really appeal to me. I know, hold your shorts... I didn't have anything to talk about. I think in the past 2 weeks I have seen every episode of I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant, Holmes Inspection and House Hunters! I've watched 4 movies, read 3 books, FB stalked, played Words With Friends, negotiated medical bills down, made all necessary phone calls/changes for the move and shopped the internet. So there you have it - the content of my last 2 weeks. That didn't make for a very interesting blog post, did it?

As of today, however, I have been released to bathe, and not in the sink!! I can even shower, if I do it seated. After 13 days, it's not over indulgence to take a 45-minute shower, is it? I can also begin weight bearing for 1/2 hour increments a couple of times a day in my lovely walking shoe that has been beautifully decorated by my children. Bandages are off and my new splint is to be worn 24/7.

I'm hoping to go back to work on Monday, for a couple of weeks. So that's the other big news. You know there's a certain style of doing things around here. Simpson-style means you don't go 1/2 way into anything, nor do you let life slow down -- ever. So over the course of a month, we'll have a new foot, a new house and a new job. All exciting new things, but also things that require a lot of adjustments and add stress. I pray these are all the right choices for the plan that God has for our family! The biggest bonus to the Simpson-style of life is that it should make for plenty of blogging material!
