How time flies. This time a year ago I had broken my ankle and placed into the PINK cast!!!

I am so thankful for so many things that kept me from having surgery and going on with my life. Dr. Carpenter was wonderful in the process and so encouraging too. Cliff was a HUGE blessing around the house. I couldn't work in my flower beds for a while and mow the grass. Yes I do enjoy mowing the grass. I think its the OCD of making straight lines. Cliff did so much for me and managed to work 100+ hours a week too. He made dinner, did the laundry, cleaned for me, watered my flowers, mowed the yard, brought me Sonic Diet Cokes to my office, wrapped my leg so I could take a bath, allowed for the room to be like 65 degrees (yes having a cast is SOOOO hot), allowed for us to buy a wagon for the camping trip to pull me, unloaded and loaded our entire car for the camping trip, pulled me up the hill numerous times so I could go pee, showered in the ladies bathroom (HAHA) and most of all LOVED ME and TOOK CARE of me!!!! And then Amy, Holly and Shandi and dealing with the work boot! Oh yes the boot that actually caused a toe-nail to go BLACK!!! Sorry!!! And for the night in the kiddie pool and still being able to enjoy the good times!

Here are some pics of the time of the cast, crutches and the work boot!!!!

Camping at Lake Cooper - oh and the hellacious hill

The start of the process

Right after my cast was complete - why I was smiling I still do not know

The "BOOT"
