WALKING.

So as you can see yesterday I was like.. I've just gotta try it!. and I did it! over came my fear and now I can walk.. however I've been walking A LOT. like a ton moving around the house helping clayton switch our dinning and living room hahaha. and organizing then going to my dad BDAY/Pioneer day BBQ hahaha I also went to wal*mart today. Now i'm starting to feel it! my foot is SOO swollen!

it looks like ten times bigger.. I'm just like I CAN WALK lets do everything.. stupid probably. but I'm a work-aholic. but tomorrow i'm gong to try to take it easy. it's hard to walk. as you can see in the Video. I've gotten a little better sense that was my first time doing it. but i'm still trying to get used to the boot and my new foot. Because my foot is a completely differen't shape now I don't know how to walk on it. and the boot is rounded so.. we'll see how it goes :D woo. 

Love,

Kristy E. E.

Update. progress.

Hello readers,

So today at 8:30am I had my doctors appointment Because yesterday was my 6 week mark! wooohoo. Pretty much I can start walking. Which means applying weight until it hurts then stopping. hahaha. Then slowly adding more each day or however it will go. I'm not positive because all the doctor told me to do was apply as much weight as possible and see how you do. hahahah. However, he did say that in 3 weeks when I go back to bring my sneaker for my foot! so i'm hoping by sometime next week I will be without the aid of my crutches! exciting.

Also he had me step on my foot for a little so he could see if it was holding up how it should and he said it looked as if  it was! WOOOHOO. that's the biggest part is that the surgeries WORK how sucky would it be to go threw all this and not have them work. haha


So lately I've been feeling pretty friendless. However, Stefanie D. I'm always grateful for your visits. But sense the wedding I've seen like no one. :'(. Really I am sad about this. I don't know how to feel. Maybe you all think that my life is Exciting and I already have enough friends to hang out with? but I promise you this isn't the case.. The only people that even call or text me are my Parents, Jake A, and Stefanie D. It really is upsetting. I try to ignore the fact that people don't respond to my text when I ask how they are doing.

I promise you I really do care. If I've done something to hurt you or make you not want to hang around me for ANY reason I'd really like you to tell me. I just get the sense that I'm some boring person now. I really really miss my groups of friends. Hanging out laughing. I know that this year hasn't been easy for me and I'm just going to have to just turn around and do it again in a couple months but it gets lonely. I sit at home all day with only the internet and the few things around me. While Clayton goes off to school. I have the entire day to try to figure out something to do..

I love so many of you and my heart reaches out to you. I think about so many of you everyday and I just want you to know that. I'm always here for a shoulder or for a good girls night or just to go out with some people you are going out with that I don't even know! In High School I was always going around doing things with friends of friends. Now that seems impossible. I LIKE meeting new people. I like being with people I already know. I love adventure. I miss you.

Love always,
     Kristy E. E.

My advice

NEVER GET SURGERY


They are sooo damn stressful (excuse my language but it's true.) So remember how I had to wait a month for the new insurance? well GUESS WHAT. For some reason the Insurance year starts on JULY 1. Guess what that means? that means I got my FIRST surgery done THE LAST MONTH OF THE YEAR in June.... Which means my next surgery will be a new year.. so we hit the MAX out of pocket for last year and what we thought would happen is that we'd have until JANUARY to get the next surgery FOR FREE! but sense January wasn't the INSURANCES Beginning of the year we will have to pay another 2500 for this year.

I'm crying.. I'm so upset and I can't really blame my dad... He wasn't told that the year started in JULY what the hell. I'm so mad and upset and frustrated and Clayton is so great about it.. and it makes me feel better that he is saying "honey, we are together and we'll make it threw this too." but it still sucks.. and I HATE so much that I can't help more right now.. that I'm not working that he has to be the one working and going to school to keep us afloat.. ugh I'm just upset that my surgeries are going to cost 5,000 dollars instead of both ONLY being  2,500. So yeah.. just had to vent.. my dad is going to call them though and get on their cases for not mentioning when he told them THE WHOLE story and situation.. blarg.. I'm just going to cry this out.


always,
    The girl just trying to make it. 

Days go on.

So as of late I've been on again off again with the feeling of no accomplishments. sitting at home.. doing nothing.

But soon I'm hoping that all of this will end because on Thursday aka 2 days from now at 8am I will be going to the doctors and waiting for my okay to start walking! and of course because shown how to walk again and such. I'm full of mixed emotions about it. I'm really nervous and excited. I just am scared to put all my weight on my foot. But I'm determined and ready, sooo ready for this moment.

Do you like my little braid in my hair? I had fun doing my hair today. 

On other news we got the Chair-A-Cise DVD yesterday. So Clayton agreed to do it with me. We did it this morning and it's a pretty good work out! Which i'm extremely happy about. It's something to get me into some kind of shape while i'm going threw all of this. once I figure out how walking actually is going to do I'll have a better idea what else I can do but as for now Chair-A-Cise it is. I feel it in my inner thighs and arms already! it's great! it was just really nice to do some kind of physical activity!

I've been married to the best man I've ever known for 4 months. I love Clayton P. E.

Doing my best,
           Kristy E. E.

What I want to do as soon as I can

Ride a bike anywhere and everywhere.

Clearly New.

So just wanted to say I changed the look of my blog and I found this exercise video I can buy that is all workouts sitting in the chair! wooooohoo. heres a clip from it:

Trust me after HOURS of trying to find things. This was THE best. and it has pretty good reviews on it on amazon. If you try looking up chair exercises you will find some pretty hilarious Senior Citizen workout tapes hahaha. but this one is actually good. So on amazon you get a few tapes for around 35 dollars. So that is good :]. Also once I get my second surgery it will be way good to have this so that I can still work out. SOOO much better than just sitting around the entire day.

However, I have to admit that despite the sitting around I have not gained ANY weight. While I was trying to find things people were posting and saying how over the 6-8 weeks they gained 20-40 pounds. I'm like DEAR LORD. for real??? right. yeah So Patt on the back for me not just sitting around EATING all day. hahah Which i've never been prone to do anyway. I'm just grateful that I haven't gained any weight sense I figured out the right Birth control for my hormones. So lets hope I can lose it! :D 

ALways,

Kristy E.E.

No more wishing just DOING.

So the last couple days I've just been REALLY down in the dumps... like really. I mean I seriously slept like 11 hours the other night... not like me. not adding in all the time i spend napping. So the last two days I've been doing everything in my power to get out of this depression I've fallen into. Trying to find what I have to be positive about.

I know I have the obvious.

..Amazing husband
..House over my head
..maaaany things I could do like Knitting, Reading, DS, Netflix, playing with my cat.
..And a nice couch to spend my many sitting weeks on.

As you read this list you are probably like.. WTF why are you complaining. You obviously have the love of your life and a various amount of things to do.. well heres the list of things depressing me..

..Never seeing my friends.
..Never seeing the outside in the beautiful green summer I know it's been from my alergies.
..Not being able to just take a little walk.
..Not being able to clean my house.
..Not having any goals because I'm pretty much out until December. (if you factor my second surgery in)
..No swimming,hiking,camping,driving etc.

I'm pretty sure I could make that list at LEAST twice as long. I'm not trying to say I have the worst life ever.. but I really ENJOY life and life is out there and not inside my house. I also realized that I wasn't letting myself enjoy what I can have. My dad made a suggestion yesterday that wasn't really saying that i needed to fix my life or anything.. He just said "maybe you should shave your legs. And you know what I thought about it for a little and was like..

Shaving my legs. MY LEGS. I could do that. I can also shower and I can also do my hair and make up if I wish and wear clothes I'd like to wear. Those are things I Can do. So I decided instead of just sitting here depressed about how I look and yadda yadda why not just get ready EVERY day. Just the simple act of getting in the shower (which i was already doing) and then getting dressed and doing my hair. So far it's been helping. it's just something I can spend time doing and it makes me feel better about how I look during the day despite the fact I only see my mom, dad, and clayton in the week. Us girls need to look good for OURSELVES. it's so trrrue. So I also painted my toes tonight!

It's that popular mint color i've had it for a while. Anyway it's a nice change and it's good to do things just DO things. So then today I had an old friend tell me that I just need to turn on some backstreetboys and just dance. She thought that she said something wrong because I can't do the trditional dancing with both feet but when I got out of the shower I had music playing and while I did my hair I danced! and before that me and clayton talked about working out once I can and how we already eat so healthy and that we hardly have ANY processed food in our house! just because we were curious! which is awesome. we really eat really well. But when I got out of the shower I was dancing and realized. I CAN WORKOUT ON A CHAIR! mostly upper body stuff but I can start doing stuff now! 

well.. that's pretty much it.. I just really am glad that i've realized these things help and I'm so much better after dancing and doing some silly chair workouts. I'm just happier just doing such simple things. 

love always

Next Summer.

Dancing

Camping

Hiking

These are a few of my dreams. Its really hard to sit here.. not even being able to do things for fourth of july. But i'm biting my lip and trying to remember that next summer i'll get to do all of this.. I understand that people probably don't want to be around me because I can't do these things. But I do miss all my friends.. and I wish I could go around I spend events with you. 

Love always

Serious case of Zombie Foot.

Hello. I know it's been a while.

My only excuse is that I wasn't very motivated to blog on Claytons Lap top. My lap top has been sent into Dell to hopefully,finally, get fixed. Who knows what will happen. I swear if when they send it back I still get the blue screen i'll punch something...

Soo. Really I don't do much. people (my family) call and ask "so what's new?" that's not an easy question for me if i've already updated them on my foot. hahah. which i'm doing now on here I have some neat photos.

So I went to the doctors on Thursday and my foot is finally a lot LESS swollen. My ankle is still pretty swollen but the rest of my foot has gone down so my skin looked GROSSS:

see.. I have a ZOMBIE FOOT luckily I don't have to  wear band-aids anymore! so I am allowed to soak my foot a little with helped my foot de-zombafi. I guess when you skin shrinks after being swollen it turns into that nasty dry dark skin. YUCK.. however my doctor said it's "a good thing" blarrrg. Now along with my ankle moving i have to bend my big toe down.. it hurts a lot to do so that's why he said I could soak my foot in hot water first to losen it up. I think i've been doing pretty good with that.

Oh so for my cool picture?? I took a picture of the X-Rays Before and After! so you all can see the huuge difference.

Pretty neat huh? We were going to get this picture last time but he didn't show it. Plus this time we got a better one of my new foot because I could set it down a lot easier. 

Other than my foot obviously healing we found out I'll start walking in two weeks from thursday. Which is good that's 6 weeks from when my surgery was. So that means i'm healing well because the estimated time is 6 to 8 weeks. The doctor again seemed surprised how well i move my ankle which i'm glad that i'm doing what I'm supposed to! 

So I've been reading a lot. I finished this book i was reading earlier this week called The Next Thing On The List. It was decent I didn't really get sucked into it but it was a sweet story.. kind of boring. And I was reading  Fahrenheit 451 but every time I just don't understand why people rave about it so much... So I really did try to finish it but then stopped finally just saying It's not my cup of tea. Before I finished those I bought the book that liike 4 people have told me read in the past called The Hunger Games and I told me self to finish those other books first so I  did my best and started reading The Hunger Games! so freaking good. If you haven't read it DO! before the movie comes out!

That was me all day on Wed. However, I have to admit after READING all day I still feel the same as watch TV all day. hahaha But it's okay I enjoy this story a lot so that helps! I'm getting the second book today! we ordered it from Amazon. 

Me.

No make up.

Hair, Air dried.

Me.

Well that's my life as of now. Oh I also haven't Deleted my facebook. I don't plan too I just don't plan to update on it very much. I want people to actually talk to me every once in a while instead of just looking me up and never actually talking to me.. I don't feel like I have very many friends. XOXO
