Just One Week Left!!! WOOT!!!

Monday I got a call from the doctor and they told me that I would have another 4-6 weeks to wait for surgery because the doctor didn't have the paperwork in on time. I was beside myself, I was ready to do the proceedure myself! It's been 3 1/2 months and I didn't think I could wait until late April early May to be able to walk again.
Yesterday I got another call from the doctor's office, they had a canellation for Wednesday April 1... yes April Fools Day I will be having my surgery and soon I will be back to normal. I can't wait, it's been a long time coming. I can't believe it's almost over, I can't remember doing things without a broken leg lol. My friend Gary keeps teasing me saying that it's a doctor's sick joke and I'm going to get into pre-op and get all prepped for surgery and they're going to yell, "APRIL FOOLS!!!!" I told him, "If they do.... they better pray that what I'm going to do to them doesn't take as long to recover from!'' lol.
I find out in Friday at my pre-op appointment how long the recovery from this surgery will be, it won't be nearly as long as my first surgery, and all the details about physical theropy so I will keep you posted with that.
Thanks for your prayers and good wishes while I've been recovering.

Yet Another Update on My Leg....

So I went to the doctor yesterday expecting him to take off my hard cast and take x-rays and then put another hard cast on... well I got really good news, my leg and ankle have healed enough that I was able to get a boot, which is a cast that I can take on and off. So YAY!!! I can sleep without a cast on and I can shower and shave and stuff... I LOVE IT!!!! Also, I have at least 19 more days with the crutches... I am able to have surgery to get the pin out no earlier than the 23rd of March. The boot they gave me, makes me look like a start trooper from Star Wars lol.
Other than my leg... we just got a huge shipment of sailors in the ward... 9 to be exact. That's more Sailors than we've ever had young adults in the Groton and Waterford ward combined! It's insane!!! The boys actually out number the girls now... it's so fun!!!! We've been hanging out all the time it's great.
Also, I finally got to go back to work for about an hour last week and I'll be going to work on Friday and Monday this week, it keeps me on my toes at least. And I get to see all the regulars that I've missed.
So that's me up to date.... nothing else has been going on really.
