The Fateful Foot Accident

After returning from the coolest honeymoon ever, we came home to presents and more presents! It was rather difficult trying to get all of those home in Sunny St. George---well, actually dusty Hurricane. But we made it and started unpacking our home! It felt so good to get in and believe it or not, I actually enjoyed coming back to my CNA job. However, our new lives had a rude awakening when the next fateful Sunday, July 14, when we were making Spaghetti and unpacking in the kitchen! You see...there was a giant butcher knife on the counter which fell off (freak accident) right onto my foot as I was opening the microwave. I was rushed to the instacare in hopes that they could stitch my cut up; unfortunately, the knife had sliced the tendon that runs through my ankle to my big toe, and cut the ones adjacent to that tendon killing all of the nerves.....yes, that is NOT a joke! Luckily, I was able to get into Surgery 2 days later and so now I am walking in a boot, but that comes off in about 5 days! Nearly 1 and a half months later I am finally HAPPY AND HEALED!!!!!! That month was so sad, having to say goodbye to Jeff as he left for 2 a day football practices followed by hours of working at the Pizza Factory. But it's almost therapy and then back to work!
