Some Updates (aka Venting)
I am a little nervous and frustrated. Tomorrow is my follow up for my foot. Sadly my foot is not better. It still hurts. Granted, I don't stay off it as much as I should, but I have to walk on it. I have kids and a traveling husband for pete's sake. When I have the boot on, the pain is significantly less. But when I try to walk without the boot on (5:00 feeding to Miss Keira) it hurts BAD. So either the boot isn't working, or it just isn't working fast enough. I was really hoping to go to my appt. tomorrow and have them tell me it was all better. But then I talk to several people and they all tell me a fracture can take a long time to heal. Argh. I was/am hoping to not have to wear this boot to DC this week. But, if it is not the boot that fixes it, then what is the alternative ? They wanted to do a bone scan last time. That entails injecting radioactive dye or something into my arm. Since I am nursing, we decided not to do that last time. So maybe that is the route we need to go this time? Only problem with that is we just lost over 100 oz. of expressed breast milk when our Fridge died.
Our Fridge. That is another vent. It has been out for over two weeks now and we are still waiting on a part they said wouldn't take longer then a few days. I am very thankful to a lovely lady on my Local Moms board who let us barrow a mini fridge. It is a God Send. We can keep milk and other everyday necessities in it. I am making meals that require little to none cold items which is not easy and is very boring. Lickily I am only cooking three meals this week before we leave. But we still have no idea when our fridge will be fixed. It is so frustrating. And the people who are fixing it just don't care. They really don't. They would rather fork over money to pay for the food lost then just fix the dang thing. Real smart if you ask me. And all of my expressed breastmilk was just a casualty of the "war". So sad. All my hard work, gone. That upsets me more then anything else. I can't get that milk back. I will never be able to pump that much more milk again. I did most of that while Keira was in the hospital and we won't be doing that again.
But I have to say, all of that is annoying, frustrating and even painful, but then I look down at the beautiful 2 year old who was just awakened accidently from her nap by the door bell and is now asleep in my lap and that just melts everything else away.
