Another Week Has Past!

David's been gone to CA this week. He should be landed by now at Seatac. Once again--a busy week and weekend. The weather was beautiful! I worked outside the whole weekend transplanting tress and bushes, buying more plants and planting them. I'm also making a cement border around my trees. Hard work. But I love it. The kids wished they had the pool up, but too early for that yet. They were satisfied with water balloons and the sprinkler under the trampoline.
After last week's follow up appt with the Dr for my toe--I got referred to a foot specialist. We were wondering why my toe won't bend. Had that appt yesterday. The break itself looks good and healing fine for 3 weeks. The trouble is that the tendon that allows you to curl your big toe under ripped away from the bone. The other tendon is intact. But....the tendon that is there will be pulling my toe up. I have no working tendon pulling it down. So for now, I have to tape my toe down so it doesn't bend. I also have a very "attractive" hard boot I have to wear. I still have pain---but s-l-o-w-l-y getting better. This is all better than surgery, in which the Dr was against. He said it was a really bad surgery to do and long recovery. I don't have time for that! The other option was to fuse that joint. But that would be down the road a few years if I still have problems.
Never a boring day around here!
