Good News/Bad News

BAD NEWS
Surgery next Friday...not sure what time yet but I am sad..but the CT scan wasn't pretty there is a big piece of bone separated from my tibia.........so it has to be fixed..ha was glad he did the scan because he was surprised at just how separated it was

so I guess its surgery #2 in less than two months he said it should be outpatient...so we will see

GOOD NEWS:
I have lost 15..YES 15lbs since the last gall bladder check up..I told him I was having a hard time eating just about anything...he did give me some meds to help maybe soak up some of the bile in my tummy, so maybe I can eat a little more.....I'm lucky to eat one small meal a day now

so there's my check in

Are you happy with who you are today?

Are you happy with who you are today?

There isn't a person walking who can't say that they couldn't use a little self improvement...
There are always areas of our lives that need it. But basically..are you happy with who you
are right now...and why or why not? Do you have things to be thankful for? (You should because we all do!)
Make a list of those things that make you happy. then a list of things that you are not happy with.
which list is longer? Post this list somewhere where you can see it everyday..be thankful for the things
that make you happy and work daily on the things you are not happy with. A change will come before you know it!!
we all have the power to change our attitudes and design our own happiness.

ATTITUDE

ATTITUDE

Changing your attitude is everything. The way we perceive things has everything to do with the way
our lives play out.
Do you get up in the morning dreading the day...or do you get up thankful for yet another day
to make it right.
Do you let other peoples bad attitudes affect you? Or do you make a conscious effort to let it roll off your back?
changing our attitude towards certain things will help us learn to be happy with everyday life.
We should not dread getting up in the morning, going to work or going about our daily life.

Ask yourself the following:

What are some of the things I dread when I face my day?
What are so bad about those things?
What is one thing you can do right now to change the way you feel about those things?

Always be honest with yourself when you answer questions...its one step to getting closer to changing
the way you perceive things.

Its a freeing experience when you can look at life with a GREAT attitude!!!!!!!!

Positive Thinking

we all know that positive thinking can change you. Your attitude, your life, your mindset. I will be sharing things here to help bring your motivational level up, your self esteem~your attitude and just plain happiness :O)
we all deserve to be happy!! And happiness is all in the way we perceive things.....

How Happy are you?

My Purty Cast..LOL

Still not sure about surgery...but they have casted it :O)

Finally A Project Completed !!!!!

This is for my craft group card challenge We just

started doing one a month!! since it has been so long since I have done a lot I was happy with the way it turned out :O)

Wellll.......

Today I find out if I get my cast or get to have surgery...am really hoping for the cast...surgery will just put me out of commission for a few more weeks, and I would really just love to get back to life!!
Will update later on!! prayers please!

Happy Saturday

Well...it has been one week since this whole ankle thing started....and it feels like its been month's. Guess I am not a very good patient!! I am also not good at relying on other people to take care of me, normally I am the caregiver..lol
So I just keep hanging in there and getting a little more positive every day

I am starting an altered book project today..I will try to share photos along the way....have tons of ideas and hoping I can transfer those to the book :O)

Have a Wonderful Saturday!!

My Broken Bone Adventure

So I thought maybe I would do an update daily on me and my adventures...or no adventures since I am stuck in this chair till who knows when...doc says 2-3 months I will be off work...ugh is what I say!! I broke the two main bones in my ankle ( tibula and fibula)( sp) and I have to say it is very very painful..also have a very small hairline fracture ( barely visible on the x-ray) on the inside of one of the other bones..but he said that was not a concern.
I got my pain meds regulated today so I know how to space them so the pain stays pretty much at bay. They have me taking Vicodin and ibuprofen. They said I could take them together...BUT tried that and made me very sick..so I space them and alternate..seems to work! I can tell that the swelling has gone down a little more so that is a bonus!! I go Tuesday for another set of x-rays..then as long as I don't need surgery it will be a hard cast for 6 weeks........praying for NO surgery!!

so far that's my story and I'm sticking to it LOL
