AS for me.....
No holiday shopping, not allowed to be standing in lines, there is no extra money, I can't work. The house is a mess, can't do my cleaning. I'm lucky to keep the horses fed and stalls cleaned.
Thankfully the Christmas lights got hung before.......
What seems to be my own new Christmas Tradition
Once again, I will spend Christmas 'recovering' from another injury.
This time, no cool story. Just lifted a bucket of water and injured the tendon in my heel... I felt something, thought I heard something, went down and the pain went all the way from my foot to my head. I couldn't walk, pretty much crawled to my truck after delivering the water to my horse...
I tried to be tough, but the discoloration and pain... ER visit... I must say the hospital in Enumclaw is the BEST ! and I've been to a few over the last few years.
Good thing I went in... and hopefully it's only a partial rupture of the tendon. Had I 'ignored it' and If it should happen to turn into a full rupture, I'll be completely OFF my foot for MONTHS.
So, for now we're looking at this beautiful new boot for at least 8 weeks. Physical therapy to follow.... Surgery may be in the mix.... It's quite painful so I'm hoping there will be some sort of relief coming soon....
Really, it was just a bucket of water, the same bucket I carry everyday. It's kind of scary to realize just how fragile you get when you get older.
Wish I could afford to hire someone to help out. It's hard enough to have to sit around, but to watch your house get dirty..... ugh...
I hope everyone has a much better start to the holidays. I am loving how many are decorating and how festive it's getting everywhere. I'm looking forward to the Christmas light drive this year.... I used to love loading up the kids and heading out for the night, driving around checking out how different neighborhoods decorate. Listen to Christmas music and enjoy being together...
What is something you do every year as part of your family traditions?
Sorry it's short.... It's getting late and the meds are kicking in...
In closing , I would like to wish you all ~ a Very Merry Christmas season, with many warm happy memories to share. God Bless and Stay Well.
Blessed by God
