Mama Hawk Down

Ugh!

There is never a good time for something like this to happen, but why did it have to happen NOW??

Tuesday morning I tripped and went tumbling down the basement stairs. It hurt enough that I felt a trip to the ER was warranted. Thank goodness, I didn't break anything, but I did sprain my left knee, injured a tendon in my right foot and sprained my big toe on the right foot. As you can imagine, I've been laid up for the past few days, much to my aggravation. Why couldn't it have all been on the same leg?? This way, I could have just dragged that leg behind me and used the other for walking.

If this had happened just a few weeks ago, I might have been able to talk myself into enjoying my opportunity to drift on some pain meds and sit perfectly still for a few days. But school is fast approaching for my little hawks and there are alot of things that need to get done. I also hate having to ask Joel to take time off work to help me. And I've discovered that I hate daytime TV. I've watched more TV in the past two days then I have in about three years combined. Can you tell I'm feeling like a very frustrated, whiny little baby?

I'm hoping this will be my last day of having to be off my feet. This morning I'm able to put a slight amount of weight on my knee, and if I only walk on the heel of my right foot, it seems to work. Does anyone have experience with sprains of this nature? Some encouraging words about how rapidly you healed would be fantastic, lol!

Love,
A Very Disgruntled Jen
