All cooped up!


 I had ankle surgery on thursday to repair an ankle injury that happened last year around this time. (you can read about it here) I thought that recovery was going to be pretty simple. Wake up from surgery go home....take a few naps ...wake up again and I was going to be good! But boy was i wrong. Who knew a surgery that took a little over 20 min to complete was going to be so stinkin painful! I woke up feeling like i had gotten my foot hacked off by an angry villain and that this so called villain put a cast on my foot just to cover to wound (but underneath that cast was something horrible) i know its just a small little incision ..but wow! I think i am just not as strong as i thought i was haha.
   I also found out that i suck on crutches.  I think i am more dangerous with them...i run into walls often...slip on almost every rug that covers our wood floors...and getting into my tall bed is a joke! Also simple things like taking a shower and putting clothes on can no longer be done by myself....but can only be achieved by the help of my mother! God bless her ....let me tell you it really helps having a mother who is a Registered Nurse.
   As I have been sitting here hyped up on Vicodin I've been drooling over all these places i am wishing to be (thanks pinterest) . instead of being cooped up here on my parents couch....this is where i am wanting to be!
                                               seriously soaking in that bathtub looks magical!
 I realize that climbing this treehouse would be almost impossible with the state I'm in but maybe they could make me an elevator or something!
                                                            Vermont in the fall! ahh magical!
