Why?

Looking back at my old posts about my leg and then looking at some of my more recent ones I realized I complain more now than I did then. Or maybe I just was more thankful then and less now? Why? My leg was worse then. I was stuck in bed all the time then. I now have a small cast. I can walk around on crutches easily. My leg is quickly healing. I guess I'll try to not complain so much and be more grateful. My leg could be much worse. But the doctors fixed it and I don't have too too much longer with a cast on. But then I have to have a boot and that won't be weight bearing for another two weeks...but I'm complaining already. ;-) So anyways...let's be thankful!

1-I don't have a splint up to my butt anymore.
2-My cast is not heavy.
3-The feeling is beginning to come back in my toes!
4-It's just my leg. 
5-Papa and Nana came and we had a ton of fun.
6-It's just one leg.
7-The weather was nice while Papa and Nana were here, it's been cloudy and gray all this week.
8-I love watching movies.
9-I've become better at drawing flowers. ;-)
10-It happened to me. But nothing worse happened to me. God protected me 
11-And he protected Daddy. Nothing happened to Daddy which I am very grateful for. 
12-The nurses at the doctors are splendid. They are very nice nurses.
13-It's not permanent!!

Haha! 13. 3 more than last time. Yes, I think of really ridiculous ones but I'm just trying to think of as many as I can. Oh but one more...I get a lot of ice cream. ;-D

And I realized I never told you about my last doctors appointment. I don't know if you even care but I'll just tell anyways. Papa and Nana were here when I had to go so Piersen stayed home with Papa while Saxon and Nana came with Mama and I. So we got there and saw the doctor. He checked my toes...which is when I realized the feeling in my toes is starting to come back. Yay!! And...I didn't whine about my toes that time. More Yay!!! Then I got an X-Ray and my bone looks sooo much better than when I first broke it. Next time we go I'll try to remember to take a picture of the X-Ray if I get another one. So then the doctor said I had to go have my stitches out and a new cast put on. He said this cast was gonna stay for 3 weeks but...I didn't have to come back to see him for 3 weeks. Yay! It was the shortest time we had seen the doctor yet. So then...stitches. I may have flipped a little. Like cried, freaked out, ended up finding out it wasn't I bad as I thought it was and then embarrassing myself. And don't ask why but even though I knew the stitches didn't hurt really because the first few didn't I cried for the rest of the time. People, I have problems. :-( The stitches just felt like tugs. But the ones near to my ankle bone felt like little pinches. Then she put the cast on. This one is tighter. And taller.
And then we went home. :-)

Although I will say (sorry I'm gonna start complaining...again...) the pink cast didn't bother me. And now that I've had this one I've been complaining about it quite a bit. Especially in the last few days. Different places hurt often. My ankle bone/s hurt. My heel hurts. The back of my heel hurts. The side of  my foot hurts. My toes feel funny. My toes hurt. Mama might call the doctor today and maybe they'll look at it and maybe they'll redo my cast. I really don't want a new cast. I don't want to do that process over again. Although I guess if my foot feels better for the rest of the time I have to have a cast on it's worth it. Please pray. Just for my foot to feel better. Quick healing. Correct healing...the usual. :-)

Also, I've had a broken leg a month from yesterday. Wow!
