Well friends it has certainly been an interesting week. I am glad that it is finally over! Where do I begin my story? How about on Monday!
Monday morning I was washing my face, when an evil exfoliate bead decided to camp out under my eyelid... I went through my normal day until about 4:30, when my eye decided to start swelling and stinging. My grandma rushed me into the eye doctor, who was able to safely remove the bead. But man it hurt.
So, you think my excitement would end there. You would be wrong. Tuesday morning started out like every Tuesday morning. I was happily on my way to class, in my full leg brace I might add, and low and behold tragedy struck. My foot, adorned in my favorite sparkle shoes, managed to slip on the one and only small patch of slush outside my classroom building. Well, when my foot slipped, my knee cap dislocated. Normally a dislocation wouldn't be that bad. This one was different. I called my dad and said I needed to go to the ER. I cried for a good 20 minutes, a rare occurrence after a dislocation. My mom left work, drove me to the ER and we got X-rays and such. Nothing was broken. I was just really swollen, and slightly out of it, because of the pain and the medicine.
We scheduled with my surgeon on Wednesday at 10:30. He said my X-rays showed a little piece of something broken, or chipped, but apparently it has been there for quiet some time. There was nothing to be worried about. He put me on crutches, gave me some medicine and said it should heal soon.
We also scheduled my surgery. Thats right, we have a date! On May 16, yours truly will undergo a Tibia Tubrical Osteotomy (I have heard that too many times hehe :)) along with a few other minor procedures.
Wednesday afternoon was wonderful! I got to spend the day with my two best and most wonderful friends, Kara and Joe. We got to watch a movie and eat pizza, and I was somewhat coherent. :)
So, I thought things were good, I would be okay. Yea, Wednesday night, while sitting in chapel trying to pay attention to the speaker (normally I would, but I was on pain medicine...) my knee cap decided to slide out 4 more times. After several tears, and a mascara stained face, my grandpa picked me up from Bethel, I went back to his house, packed my stuff and my dad came and got me.
Thursday I got to spend the day with my sick little sister, Claire, who is just wonderful. And though she was sick, and I was miserable and full of pain medicine, we had a lovely day together.
Today, I rested, went to lunch with a friend who is moving and went to dinner with my grandparents.
So my week has been interesting. I don't handle pain medicine all that well, so things have been pretty fuzzy. I can honestly say that I am looking forward to this surgery in May. It has been a long road to get here, and I am ready for it to end! Also tonight starts the first night of my spring break!! And I have some fun things planned, assuming I can actually function on this medicine haha!
I just haven't blogged in a while, so I decided to but my boredom to rest. I am very thankful for all of the friends and family members who have been praying for me. I am truly blessed to have such an awesome support system. God is good. He is a rock which the weary can cling to. Believe me, I have been clinging to the rock. If you want to pray for me, I am still pretty sore, please pray for comfort, for my emotional health, and for a quick two months as I wait for surgery. If there is anyway I can be praying for you, please let me know!!
