Bit of an update

Well there isn't much to update about. But I felt like writing up a post. We just got back from PT. The way PT goes is this:we get there and then my physical therapist comes to the waiting room and gets us. Her name is Mandi. She's very sweet.  So we go back to a room and I take my boot off and then I bend my ankle up and down and sideways. And I wiggle my toes and then she wiggles my toes and moves my ankle up and down and sideways.  I can move my ankle by myself up about floor even. I take my boots off while it's up on pillows so gravity kinda makes it go down anyways. It. Will. Not. Go. Down. Like. At. All. Seriously. No joke it will not move down. My big toe will also not. At. All. Bend down. I don't know what's up with that though. :-(  I can move it sideways in pretty good and sideways out pretty good by myself. I can sorta do a super duper completely pathetic little circle. So then I do a resistance band sometimes which I'm kinda good at. Then I put my boot back on and we go out to this big room that has a bunch of equipment in it and she has me try to take steps inbetween to parallel bars. Then she puts a scale under my foot and I have to lock my knee and put as much weight as I can on it. The first time I tried I only did like 15lbs and then the second time I got up to 20-25lbs but today I put 40 lbs on it. And I have to say...I was kinda proud about that. I didn't say so out loud though...until now. ;-D So I can put about half my weight on it. When I weighed myself at Easter I was finally up to 80lbs. I weighed myself at PT and I was down to 75lbs with my boot and the boot I was wearing. So I lost quite a bit of weight. So anyways...off track whoops! So half of my weight...ok then I walk a circle around the room putting weight on my foot.  At home I don't put that much weight on my foot. So today she tried to get me to take a step with a cane...which meant only having support on one hand. It kinda freaked me out and I couldn't do it. Like at all. So then she had me go inbetween the parallel bars and only hold onto one bar so the one on the other side would be there in case I needed it. I really couldn't do it. I tried but I put like no weight on my left leg. Yes, I cried because it freaked me out. I felt bad but I just really could not make myself do it. :-( So then she lowered my crutches so I put more weight on my foot and into my hands instead of my armpits. Because I won't put as much weight on my foot as I'm suppose to unless I take each step really slow and tell myself to put weight on it. So I'm sloooooow. After PT we went to Target where I sat in the car while Mama took the boys in and got them slurries and a pretzel for everyone to share. Then she got me and her a coffee to share. And why is it when we get an iced one it's gone waaaay faster then a hot one? So then we went down some random roads because today? It. Is. Gorgeous. Actually kinda beyond gorgeous. Bright blue skies. Barely a cloud in the sky. Sunny!! Kinda chilly. But...gorgeous. One thing that's really depressing though? The mountains are getting more snow!!! WAAHHH!!!  :'-( I don't want winter I want summer. Because I only got half a summer this year. So this year I get a full Alaskan winter and a half Alaskan summer. And you know how very short the summer is and how very long the winter is....so yeah. I'm dreading the snow. So now...pictures!

Guys,guess what? I finally got a picture of my foot that is true to looks. Yay! Yep I know, stupid. But I want you to know what it actually looks like. :-D

The white parts are the parts where I rubbed off the dead skin. The dark parts? Dirty dead skin. Yep, yuck! Don't even ask about my big toe...fungus. :-( my foot is still super puffy. You can barely see my ankle bones but on my other foot my ankle bones totally jut out.  Yeah, I'm pretty happy about finally getting a good picture. Stupid stupid. I'm gonna take another bath tomorrow so hopefully I'll get more dead skin off. Yay. Oh well...continuing!

Finally wearing jeans makes for a happy me. :-)

My new favorite to way to wear my hair. And Piersen says I look like a nerd with Daddy's glasses on. But a cute nerd. Thanks, Bub. I figured being a cute nerd was good right? 

And that's all!! Love you, guys!!
