A Hard Time

I went to my foot Dr. yesterday and it was a good and bad visit.  The good was I got off the heavy cast and got all of the 19 stitches out, 10 on one side 9 on the other and I got a way lighter cast.  But the hard part is he told me he wants me to stay off the foot for 2 more months.  I started to cry  , I was/am heartbroken.  I told him how I am a farmer I work with animals large and small, I train horses, rescue all sorts of animals.  I asked can I go back to the gym and work on my upper body? Dr. said no, but maybe at my next check up on 2-20.  But he said I can climb the stairs to sleep in bed with my hubby, so I did last night.

It is so hard  my hubby and the girls are doing my job while I am on bed rest on our couch. I drives me nuts to see them do my work.  I feel bad.  My hubby says's I have brought up our girls to know how to take care of everything and our family, he is right.  He says it is his turn to take of me, because when he was sick and had a tumor removed from behind his eye I took care of him.  He said that he is/was  verry proud of me because I can do it all, run the house, the farm, the bills, I tell him I do that everyday, he said yes but, he is home sick for me to take care of. I told him that it is my job that I do out of love. 

That's all for today, God Bless you all,   mj

Hope you feel better soon

I am glad that you have gotten the heavy cast off and a lighter one on. I know how you feel about everyone doing your job. Just sit back and enjoy it. It won't be too long before you are back on your feet. Are you doing anything while laid up in bed? Crochet, hand sewing, reading? All these will pass the time. If you really want to do something for your mind, try doing a Sudoku puzzles. I did these while waiting after my hand surgery.
