So I went to the doctor on Tuesday and I thought that they were going to take my cast off for x-rays and I was hoping that I was going to get a walking cast. Well, I went to the doctor on Tuesday and they didn't take the cast off, but they did take x-rays. He said that I was healing faster than he expected but I'm not ready for a walking cast yet. As a matter of fact he gave me a cast shoe, it's pretty much a big sandal with a cradle bottom to go over my cast. I can put a little weight on my heel and kind of shuffle along but I can't put weight on my toes at all. If I do I run the risk on the pin in my ankle going through the bone or backing out, both would be really bad. So I'm in this cast for another month, then they take this cast off for x-rays (for real this time) and then they are going to put me in a fresh cast for another month, at that same visit we are going to schedule the second surgery date to take the pin out. After the pin comes out in April is when I get the walking cast. So I've been pretty bummed, there are Young Single Adult dances and activities coming up that I'm going to miss because of it. And that stinks because these activities coming up are regional activities, the best ones of the year. So I'm hoping that there will be some fun activites this summer to make up for it.
Other than that there's nothing new going on. On Monday, some of my friends came over and we played games and then we went shopping. We went to Khol's and then to Famous Footwear. They gave me a fashion show and I took pictures while I was in the wheelchair. It was so fun! I hadn't laughed that hard before I broke my leg! I had tears rolling down my cheeks! I got texts from all of them saying that we're on for this Monday to! I'm so excited, I needed it so desperately. I am really looking forward to this Monday, it's helping to stay positive and not dwell on my leg. Which I'm really trying not to do because I really could have it a lot worse.
I've started knitting again, I took a couple of weeks off but I back in action, I just finished Natalie's and now I'm working on one for myself. It's hot pink of course! Emery is really jealous of it, it's her favorite color to.
Other than that there's nothing new going on. It's been pretty boring around here.

Oh Erin. I'm sorry you got such disappointing news. We were really praying you were going to be "free" from your cast by now.
Glad they have a plan of action for you now. Would have been nice if they could have all been on the same page to begin with though.
We love and miss you lots. Hope you get feeling better soon. ♥Sariah& the boys
