Happy 4th & foot update

Happy 4th of July!

It's 90 degrees outside and feels like July. A little hot for baseball weather, but we're playing anyway! We're leaving for the State Tournament in VanBuren tomorrow around noon. I'm busy trying to get all of the work done, errand ran, house cleaned & laundry done today so we can get up and pack tomorrow morning. I'm afraid it might be a late night trying to get everything done... It will be really nice to get out of town for a little break though. Even though I'll probably bring my laptop and do some work while we're there, it'll still be a break. Any break from housework is great in my book!!And the hotel has a pool, so the kids are MAJORLY excited about that!

I went to physical therapy for the first time yesterday for my hurt foot/ankle. I got great news! Wade (who was awesome) said if I do the exercises he gave me I should be better in a week. 3 at the most. I will do the exercises. I'm so ready to be out of the ankle brace and not hobbling everywhere. And to be able to sleep at night without it hurting. That will be great! It's been 7 weeks today since I hurt it... a long 7 weeks...
In a bunch of fancy big word medical talk, Wade basically said that the torn ligament is healed, but the muscles in my calf, front of my leg, and foot are very tight after not being used for a while, etc. When he tested my range of motion, I was at a 3 and he said I need to be at least a 10 to be able to walk without pain. I just need to get those stretched out and everything moving again and I'll be good. He did some other treatments to it yesterday that helped alot because it is feeling much better today. Yeah!!!!!! If I'm not better in a week or if I'm worse, I have to go back and see him a couple more times but it's nothing serious and I'll be fine. Like I told Jason when I called him for the update, "I'm gonna make it!" :-)
