Here I am!

Well, here I am, home for the rest of the week on sick leave. I got to work yesterday and after a 1/2 hour or so, my leg was sore. My leg is pretty gruesomely bruised and ugly and it's sore expectantly so! My team leader at around 8:00am asked me if my leg was swollen at all, so I pulled up my pant leg to see that my ankle was twice the normal size. So, off to medical I went. I elevated for awhile which didn't help, and there was edema as well (2+ pitting as the nurse said). So, after calling my doctor that did the surgery and talking with medical they told me that the plant doctor would just send me out on sick leave for the length of my restrictions (1 week). So, I didn't have a way home yesterday because we ride in the vanpool, so I sat on the picnic table by Jeremy's job the rest of the day with my foot on top of our cooler most of the time. That was a long day! So, as long as I can elevate my foot every hour, I have been able to really clean out my fridge, and catch up on laundry. So, I cannot go back to work until next Monday. Sick leave is really a pain with all the paperwork you have to do, and waiting for the money and it's substantially less than the pay I get while I work, but it is also a blessing to have for moments like these and I get to enjoy my kids for the week! So, we had pancakes for breakfast this morning and Erin helped me throughout the day. Lyndsay is so funny - she just loves to crawl around and explore most of the time, every once in awhile bellowing for me to make sure I haven't left her! She loves the bathroom, so I have to keep on eye on her at all times. So, I will hopefully have more pics to post this week and some fun things happen that I can actually remember! Have a great night!
