Hello bleeps!
I have been on holiday for more than two weeks now. I really am enjoying being at home with my dogs, and now my hubby is on holiday too.
He gets very excited about gadgets and technology and has been getting PlayStation games and stuff for a while now. This week we also changed our internet from a landline ADSL to a wireless Cell C which looks like it will be faster and cheaper. He also just got an I Pad. He has been having lots of fun setting everything up. The challenge has been to get all our gadgets linked to the internet in the house (our two computers, his PlayStation and now the I Pad.) Oh well it keeps him busy.
I have been busy on my computer. I am making a fertility EFT product. I will let you guys know when it is finished. It will take a while as it is in the beginning stages.
The only yucky thing to spoil my holiday joy is that (silly me!) yesterday I was walking out of the house carrying the vacuum cleaner (to get the maid to vacuum our car) and I wasn’t looking properly at the steps below and when I put the weight down on my left foot it went sideways, as there was no step there where I thought it was.
I lay on the couch in agony with a packet of peas on my foot. Ouch.
This morning I decided to do the sensible thing and go to the doctor as I was still hopping around. He told me I had torn ligaments in the foot and put me in a brace for six weeks! After getting over the shock that it is going to take so long to heal, I realise that it is for the best as this brace really gives my foot a lot of support and I can actually walk around a lot better than I did before.
It sucks that I will be hobbling around on holiday. And that I spent that money on pedicure etc. on Monday and will probably need to wear supportive shoes for this lot. Oh well..
Brett put this on his Facebook status: “My wife pulled ligaments by kicking my butt, now her foot is in a brace and I am her slave for 6 weeks. Eish!” This is really funny because A) I don’t kick his butt on any level B) He is unable to be my slave. Last night he did a few fetching jobs and even tried to set up my laptop (unsuccessfully). He took the dogs out for their nightly pee and again this morning. So he is able to do the basics (like order food, not cook it!) but now that I have this brace and am more mobile again, not a chance! Oh well, it was nice while it lasted.
Oh well I hope you all have a great holiday. Next week I will be spending a few days in Port Elizabeth (my home town) and then, together with my parents and their caravan, we will be going on to East London (3 hour drive on Christmas Eve) and then will be merging the families for Christmas. Should be really interesting since my parents are the quiet, polite type, whereas Brett’s family is a lot more loud and volatile! Should be an interesting Christmas…
I am enjoying reading your posts. I do hope your foot is Loads Better. Brett sounds like a typical man.
Best wishes Sandra
Thanks Sandra, my foot is much better now after a month, I’m going to try not wearing the brace this week. 🙂
