Ankle Smankle.


 Wow. It's been a while since my last post! Life has been crazy! Roughly four months ago I was writing this great post about husbands new toy. A motorcycle! But don't get all excited just yet. He's already had his first accident. His toy "The Beast" is totaled. His right ankle was shattered in said accident, surgery was a must if he wanted a "normal" ankle for the rest if his life. I would much rather be writing about the wind in our hair. Or even how uncomfortable the seats are. But alas. Here we are. I was out of town when the accident happened. I came home to husband standing on crutches in the middle of the livingroom. Fake smiling. Blinds drawn. He was in mourning for "The Beast". Fast forward a few months of him hobbling around on crutches. Him getting a new nickname of One Leg. Me playing taxi. Doctor visits. Physical therapy. Lots of talking about "Won't it be nice when you can actually walk" sorts of things and getting X-rays for the gazillionth time and here we are today. On our first visit a nurse said "welcome. You just joined the flock. You're gonna be around here for a while. " o happy day. Looking forward to longer calling husband "One Leg!"
