OCD and Surgery Just Don't Mix!


So I know I've been a slacker on my blog but I think I have good reason. Let me begin, So along with all my regular surgeries I have every 6 months, we thought we'd mix things up and throw in another. Why not? What's another surgery, right? J/K Actually this ankle has been a bugger of mine for quite some time. It has taken quite the beating in it's life of being a gymnast, cheerleader, and family BBQ volleyball player. Yep that last one is what did it 5 years ago, volleyball. I was playing at my parents for a family BBQ, I jumped ever so high to do a "professional spike" then landed to hear a POP that echoed in my ears. So the trip to the ER told us it was not a broken bone, but very stretched out ligaments and tendons that made that loud POP. I went on my way and tried to heal. It never felt normal again, aching and randomly popping in and out of socket. Over the last 6 months it got progressively worse. I couldn't even wear heels anymore. And all you women know how sad that is for us. It would pop out of socket every couple days, then once a day, then 5 times a day, then 10 times...... So I finally decided to see a ortho surgeon like my hubby suggested. And the results........ Surgery ASAP, my ankle has a good sized hole where bone and cartilage should be from falling in and out of place daily. The tendons and ligaments need a total reconstruction and a possible transplant from my hamstring. WHATT????!!
So I was a bit freaked out. No driving for 6 weeks, a hard cast for 6 weeks, and let go of control in quite a few different areas for 6 weeks.
But I'm alive and venting. I've had some great help and visitors. And that's what will get me through the next 5 weeks 2 days. My 73 year old grandma came over today, watched the kids and made us dinner. She's so sweet and always willing to help! Thank you Grammy, I love you! Thanks to everyone that has been trying to keep me sane, it means a lot

I want to tell my hubby how grateful I am for him. He is so patient to put up with me and my OCD. He has really been keeping up with the house, the kids, laundry, dinner and so on. I know I have A LOT of things I like done my way and he's done so good trying to get it done "that" way for me . He's always seeing what I feel like eating or what movie he can rent for me, or if I need to go on a quick drive just so I won't go crazy. He's so good to me and the girls and I am so lucky. I love you so much sweetheart! Thank you for all you do!
