How are you doing?
Everyone keeps asking me how I am doing? How are you suppose to respond to this? I am in excruciating pain. It take me at least 10 minutes to go from sitting with my foot up to standing. My foot grosses me out so much I can't even look at it.
You can't answer like that so you lie and say "Fine." I have been trying to say "Hanging in there." Because I am. I have no choice but to hang in there and deal with it. "Taking it day by day." This is very true. I guess I wasn't expecting it to be this painful. He made it seem like a simple procedure. Which it is in comparison to others. It's all relative. I guess I just wasn't preparing for the worst enough.
I am trying to keep it under wraps in front of my kids and husband but it is not easy. It was doing ok till they took the cast off. For some reason it hurts so much more since they took it off. Maybe because it can swell more now. More room. I don't know. As long as I am sitting with it propped up I am in no pain at all. But the minute I put it lower the my waist level it starts hurting. I have to slowly lower it to let it adjust which can take 10 minutes. And then as long as it stays down it continues to hurt. Walking on it doesn't hurt as bad as trying to keep it down.
Anyway, I am "Hanging in there." "Taking it day by day." However, I am NOT "Fine."

Compliment Jar
Julia - I loved listening to you play with your sister(s) today. You were so sweet and so nice. Your imagination was amazing. You just had a great afternoon. I appreciate you letting Mommy and Daddy have some time to just sit.
Sevina - Today is more about me then you. Today you taught me to stop labeling you. I promise to be better at automatically assuming something is you because of your spirit. I will not assume you will do something or be someway just because you have in the past. I promise to try and start treating you like the other girls. I will just work on figuring out how to do that in a way that will work for you.
Keira - You woke up from your nap in such a great mood. You are feeling so much better finally. You ate really well today and you were so cute at lunch making faces and laughing.
It is ok to not be fine! Way to be real here. I am sorry that it is sucky time though...booo. Sweet compliment jar! I love that...

Whenever people ask me "how are you" I am tempted to ask them if they want a real answer or the polite one. I have two 4 pound babies sitting on my organs. How do they think I am?
I'm glad to hear your pain is better though. ((HUG))
