And The Diagnosis Is....

I broke my foot.  :P  But not in a bad way.  I have what is called a "Proximal avulsion fracture of the 5th metatarsal".  Look that one up!  Lol!!

Basically, when I tripped and fell, I twisted my ankle REALLY bad.  When I did that, one of the tendons that attaches to the tiny bone in the top of my foot (the one that goes on to become my pinkie toe) ripped a piece of bone about the size of a pin head off the bone itself.  No big deal.  I don't need a cast and I can walk on it.  I have an epic bruise (it's PURPLE!!) and I have to ice it and elevate it but other than that I'm fine.

Here's an x-ray!!



Being off my feet last night gave me an excuse to be really productive on that owl.  It's done!  :D  And I think it's totally adorable with loads of personality.  I think I may start making and selling them.  I've already got an idea for a zombie owl.....  Just saying.  :P

Here's the finished product:



Excuse the foot in the picture.  I was elevating.  And the part of the blanket that you see on the left is a small portion of an absolutely GORGEOUS afghan my mom made. :)  We're all crafty.  Lol.

I also got flowers.  :P  I love lilies.  They're my favorite flower.  And when I got home from getting poked, prodded, and x-rayed, I found these on the table:



I should break my foot more often.  :P  Flowers, uninterrupted craft time, and a cuddly blanket.  Love it!  Lol. 

So, anyways, all is well and I get to keep my foot.  No amputation required.  :) 

Have a happy Friday, lovelies!!!

Day 12

Well, today is my Friday and I'm grateful for that.  I'm also quite grateful for the rain and for the fact that I'm getting off early today.  Hobby Lobby here I come!  :D
