The answer is NAY!
You'd think I'd be thrilled with this answer. Well I am. HOWEVER, I am not thrilled that I had to wait 3 hours. I'm not thrilled that I had to see a resident because the surgeons clinic that should have been booked to max compacity of 35 was booked at 78.
I didn't like that the resident didn't even know that I had xrays or an MRI and told me that I was fine, and that they weren't complete tears.I didn't like that he just wanted me to get up and walk away without my zimmer brace after TELLING me they were partial tears(That does alot of damage) I didn't like that he made fun of the muscle loss I suffered in my leg. Jerk.
This REALLY wasn't a very good experience. I was grumpy by the end of it....to SAY the least.
This is what my next few months look like.
-PHYSIO.... I start sometime this week
-Two more weeks CRUTCH free with the zimmer brace, then I'll move to a hinge brace(hopefully crutch free) then finally be walking without anything. :) I can't wait until that day! They told me that most likely I will have to wear some type of hinge brace while playing sports or working out for a good long while. But atleast I'll be able to play. I'm going to see how Physio goes, then I'll be getting back into the gym.
I told the Surgeon about the hill I walk up, and about how I've been getting dropped off at the top of the hills, but he told me to try walking up the hill. I'll try it. BUt I think I might die.
This is the best case senario. I will hopefully be good as new before American Thanksgiving.

Cornfest
Cornfest was amazing!
I had alot of fun hanging out with my family, and my friends.
I made a "people of c.fest" album I made it for Ryan. Because well he said he wanted to come but made other plans to go golfing. Seriously. So lame! Who would rather go golfing than hang out with me at cornfest? Well, there may have been another slight problem with him getting here, but golfing was the main one ;)
I can't wait until next year!

Back in the DAY!
So I am at home.
For Cornfest. Oh Cornfest.
My dad and I went to go take a look last night when I got into town.
Same set up, different year! I saw a bunch of friends from highschool, some that have left Taber and well some of them that haven't. HA!
It got me thinking about years past, and funny things I use to do as a kid, and how funny I thought.
What is your earliest memory?
=I remember when I was little and my parents would tell me to go get ready for me, I would have to have one of my parents turn on the light in my bedroom cause I couldn't reach the switch. Now when I walk into that room I remember how I use to be sooo small that I couldn't touch the switch. I must have been soo cute! Wait, I was darling.
-When I was little and I would watch full house, family matters, fresh prince I use to think that those families didn't know that they were being taped for my enjoyment, and I thought that my family was getting recorded for other people to watch, and that it would probably be boring! ha
-I use to love 90210 and had the biggest crush on Luke Perry. I was watching 8 seconds with my family and Luke Perry was in it, and his character died in it, and I was DEVESTATED because I thought he died in real life.
**My parents had to teach me the difference between real life, and TV at a very early age. Ha I think that might be the reason my parents didn't let me watch alot of TV when I was younger.
-When I was in grade 4 we learned learned about solar powered cars, and electric cars. I was scared that my dad would forget to plug the car in and when the sun went down the car would just stop and we would have to sit where we were until the sun came up the next day.
-Whenever we would talk about the second coming(of Christ) we often talk about gathering in Zion. Well I was soooooooooooooo worried that I wouldn't have a ride and no one would drive me to the gathering place. Ha.
I had such an imagination.
What are some of the funny things you remember about being younger?

Songs
Sometimes songs are associated with memories.
Some of them good, some of them well....not so good.
Yesterday morning while I was driving to work a song came on the radio that I loved LOVED last fall. It took me back to what I was doing almost a year ago, and it made me smile..
What songs take you back to a different time?

The men in my life!
This boy is one of the 3 men in my life that I absolutely adore! There is only one other guy that I would hold a candle to with this guy, and that is my other bff who happens to live in Calgs. Chase and I met a little over 3 years ago. When we first met him. I hated him. Really. You should have met this kid. He was arrogant, full of himself, and was a jerk. He tried to win my love and friendship. Once he did..it was over! This boy stole my heart and has been there ever since! I don't get to see him very often because he lives in Rexburg Idaho. I see him a few times a year. Maybe 4 times SAD huh? Seriously. Well he called me last night. We talked for a good hour. He vented, I vented and it was like I had just seen him a few days earlier! He surprised me by telling me he's coming up soon for a mutual friends wedding, and other than the wedding he's all mine for the week. Do you know how excited this makes me! I love it. Biggest Blessing ever. I don't think he even reads my blog, I doubt he knows I have one. But I know that he knows that I love him!
The most important man in my life is my daddy. Today is his birthday, and when I called him bright and early at 7am he was definately surprised to hear from me. I think he thought I forgot, but I was sooo excited to call him, that I couldn't even wait. Hence the 7am call. Good thing he was already awake, and at work. I love my dad so much. He's awesome. We have so much in common, and I'm his mini me. I am so excited to go home and hang out with my family for a few days. My dad is one of the most hardworking, honest men that I know. Happy Birthday Dad... love you...xoxo
The third but definately not last man in my life, is someone I've grown to love and respect so much in the last year. Without him I'd be an even bigger brat than I already am. He's been there for me thru alot of things, and has put up with me being a brat on more than ONE HUNDRED occasions. I'm pretty sure that he still loves my guts. I just found out that he knows I have a blog. So I'm sure he'll read this. We've been thru alot lately but I love him and I always will, and I'm so proud of him.(**I don't think he'd appreciate his picture on my blog**) so just picture a tall handsome guy! ;)

Flirting
As an athletic girl, growing up playing basketball and volleyball I was always on par with alot of the guys. Guys liked me because I could hold my own in a sport convo, and in my game.
After getting hurt I saw a super sweet lady that I grew to love a few years ago.
She said the samething to me this time after being hurt, that she said to be after I jammed two of my fingers, got a black eye, got a cut on my eye, sprained my hand and pulled some muscles.
"My dear I need to show you that there is another way of flirting, than playing sports with 'boys' "
**Picture this statement in a thick english accent.
Oh I love you Sister Rock

Twinners!
Yesterday I had the privilage of meeting/running into two people who were also in zimmer braces.
I remember right after I got outta the hospital, I was in so much pain, I couldn't move, food made me sick and the only thing that would keep me calm was percocets I met someone who was 3 weeks into recovery and when he told me that I wouldn't feel any worse I wasn't to quick to believe him. I kind of wanted to punch him. The raging high Lachele was less than impressed that this loser was trying to make me feel better when all I wanted to do was feel like crap. My life was over(I'm dramatic I know.)
Well yesterday I went to lunch with some girls at work, and the restaraunt was on the other side of the hospital campus, and I was soo slow that the one got my a wheelchair-what hospital doesn't have wheelchairs just busting from every seam right? Well right. So she pushed me in one and just as we were by the emergency exit we saw a slightly morphine drunk guy about my age in a zimmer brace being wheeled out by some girl. I was excited when I saw him. We chatted..exchanged stories and I told him in two weeks he'd be feeling alot better. He probably was cursing me the way I was cursing two weeks previous.
Last night I went to see The Switch(so funny.) loved it. Want to see it again! Kind of story of my life. Minus the insemination parties although in my might come down to that if I don't stop being so picky. We were walking into the theatre and I saw a man sitting down with crutches beside him and his leg was in a zimmer brace. He saw me, we stopped and chatted and something I've realized is that there are so many other more retarded ways to wreck your knee then being hit with a football... ha ha! This man made me feel a whole lot better! He was told he'd only have to be in his brace for 2 weeks. Sure beats me 6-8 but he only tripped over his dog(see that doesn't even come close to be as lame as getting hit by a football). He asked me how long I'd been crippled and as soon as I heard '2 weeks' leave my mouth I was shocked it'd already been two and a half weeks. Next week I see the surgeon, and potentially will be in rehab in a few weeks. I'm so excited!! YAY!

Back at Work.....
So in true Lachele fashion I lost all attention to detail and stopped blogging for a little while.
Lame huh?
Well one of the girls in my ward told me to blog more, and then I did...and she so nicely told me she didn't want to comment because blogs about my knee are BORING. So I stopped, and I had nothing else to blog about.
I came back to work two days ago. I was worried I was going to be sore and grumpy. And well I was. HA! But I worked thru it pretty dang well. Took some medication. Sat at my desk and chilled.
Work has been fun. I've been getting alot of attention(just what the attention whore loves right?) so it's been working well for me. ha.
In Knee News.... I'm no longer using crutches. I love feeling free, now if only I could get rid of this zimmer brace. Hopefully 4 more weeks.
I'm going home this weekend for Cornfest. Can you say carnival treats, rides, crazy drunk trashy people and a whole lotta my family?(they're not trashy and drunk) but I am so excited to go home this weekend. I miss Taber and I miss my family!

Families can be together forever
How grateful I am at this time for that knowledge.
I also know that things can change in the blink of an eye.
A friend of mine and her husband just had a baby not too long ago(a month MAYBE) last night were driving home from a wedding reception and got into a car accident and were both killed instantly. Their daughter survived and is at the Children's Hospital in critical but stable condition.
Please pray for the Litchfield and Melnyk families at this time, and as well as the speedy recovery of their daughter!

Reflect
I've been reflecting alot lately. About the good things and about the bad things.
I spend alot of time by myself. So I'm left with the company of my own thoughts! Normally I would say that this is not a good thing, however as of late I've quite enjoyed it!
This time last year I was enjoying a day at the lake with my friends, and a night at the Calgary Tower for my best friends birthday with one of the coolest guys I know.
In that year, my best friend has moved-we're still bff, but we just went from seeing each other everyday to a couple time every few weeks. That coolest guy ever is married. Where am I? I am laid up on a couch with a big blue brace on.
I guess part of this post comes out of frusteration, not depression...cause I am very happy...just frusterated. Can someone have a happy frusteration. I don't even know if frusteration is the right word.
Yesterday, I went to see Eat,Pray,Love. Liked it, Didn't love it. I fell asleep thru it actually. It kind of reminds me of my life. Recap of the movie for those of you who haven't seen it-- A womam is married, she realizes she doesn't want to be married, she doesn't feel fuilfilled. So she leaves her husband, takes a year off travels to three different places, she eats, she prays(meditates) and she finds love. Now clearly I am not THAT dramatic but I feel like I want a divorce from Calgary. I want to get away, I want to eat, pray and love. Once I take care of a few loose ends in Calgary, and I get the rest of my instructing certifcations I want to travel to a few different places over the course of a year. Then I'll come back and I'll figure the rest of my life out! Now I was planning this(a few blog posts back) in about a year, but due to my current situation I'm going to keep this plan in the back of my mind...not forgetting about it, and saving it for when the Lord wants me to go(I'm not going to make the same mistake twice) I'm going to do this in his time not mine.
It takes alot for me to be able to say Not my will, but Thy will.
I can finally say it :)
Okay, so this didn't turn out as emo as I thought it would. ha ha. It didn't really go in the direction I wanted it too either. Point is. I've been reflecting. I've been making plans. I've been positive. I'm going to take as much out of this as I can.
xoxo

Non knee post-and it's a gooder!
So my blog buddies have seen a pattern with me....
I use to blog alot....then I stopped.....now I blog alot again.
It's always about my knee tho.
So for those of you that don't care about my knee...here's something right up your alley!
The other night I signed into MSN. I use to spend HOURS on MSN in highschool. I rarely go on anymore, like once a year. I have facebook chat now. Who needs MSN?
Well this guy Justin started talking to me. He asked me if I remembered him. I didn't. He must not have been that memoriable. We kept talking. Apparently he was in my ward down in Utah while I was going to school there. We talked and I was getting tired but he wanted to keep talking, so he asked for my number so we could text the next day. I gave it to him. We texted from the time we both woke up, until we went to bed, for a few days. He seemed waaaay cool.
I was talking to my girlie Mallorie and I was telling her about him. He's 29 from Farmington, and he is an X-Ray Tech. She starts to laugh. That sounds super familiar. A few months ago she hooks up with a guy from Farmington who is 29 and an X-Ray Tech and his name is Justin too. HA!
She tells me he's crazy, and gross and that I should run. Now, I trust Mal and her 'experience' so I stopped texting him first, and would only give him a few word responses hoping he would get the hint, Hes sure didn't. He started telling me that he liked me, and wanted to hang out with me when I came to Utah next. I didn't tell him that I knew Mallorie right away. Sunday night he was annoying me, and I was talking to her on the phone and she decided she was going to text him and tell him I was her best friend and to back off...So I decided to text him too.
Soon after that I got to see a side of him I hadn't yet, and a side he just finished telling me didn't exist. Apparently Mal didn't call him after their late night Denny's makeout(ha sorry Mal, I had to add that) so he was a little bitter, and hurt and had nothing but nasty things to say. He had the nerve to tell me that if I 'wanted to EVER talk to him again, that I had to give up her' HA! are you kidding me. My bestfriend vs. some guy who says werid things that I don't even remember meeting yet was in my ward for a full year. HA! I made sure to let him know that he should feel privilaged to be talking to me, not the other way around.(I'm slightly narcasistic, therefore think that everyone that I hang out with should be lucky) ha ha... okay I'm not that bad. But who did this guy actually think he was? He was socially awkward, and from what I could tell he had no friends. ha! poor little fricker
Mallorie saved my life. I could have been killed by this creep(okay not really) midget was barely taller than I am(turn off 1), he always talked about how he didn't have many friends(turn off 2) and after Mal, told me he was a horrible kisser, and super werid that did it for me(turn off 3)
He was pissed at Mal for ruining his chances with me. Chances I wasn't even planning on giving him, because I just thought he was cool. I didn't want to marry him.
By the end of this, I was laughing my head off, and he was pissed. So pissed that he said he'd 'give me one more chance' to choose him, and when I didn't he started telling me that if I was friends with a crazy then I must be crazy to(which I am ha ha) that he was done with me!
Now that, that comic relief is out of my life I don't know what else to do with my time. Any suggestions?

FiElD tRiP
Now before you get all excited.
It was just a trip to the grocery store.
I never want to do that again.
Ugh.
It was a horrible experience. Ha. Now I knew I was going to get some stares, and some comments, but nothing could have set me up for what I was going to get.
Two people stopped me to tell me stories about other people they knew in blue leg braces before I even got INTO the store. Really? Ugh. I just wanted to get in there and get out.
Three more stopped me, or made comments to me while I was in the store. One of the ladies nieces tore her ACL in December and is getting her MRI on wed. That's 9 months. There is NO way I am waiting 9 months for an MRI. After the MRI is when they determine surgery. Ugh. Really. I already knew all of this. I was just hoping that the timeframe would be me more within the next month and a half. Maybe the surgeon will take pity on me, and move up my OR date. IF I need to get surgery. I still don't even know if I need it. This is soooo frusterating.
I was slightly upset, and instead of having a nervous breakdown in the middle of the produce isle I texted my bff Mallorie. She really made me feel better. Reminding me that each case is different and THAT I need to wait and talk to the Ortho. I've remained pretty positive about this whole ordeal, simply for the fact that I have been feeling really well lately. I have been able to move around, I am not taking nearly as much medication.
No more field trips for me for a little while.
That one took alot out of me.

I never want to do that again.
Ugh.
It was a horrible experience. Ha. Now I knew I was going to get some stares, and some comments, but nothing could have set me up for what I was going to get.
Two people stopped me to tell me stories about other people they knew in blue leg braces before I even got INTO the store. Really? Ugh. I just wanted to get in there and get out.
Three more stopped me, or made comments to me while I was in the store. One of the ladies nieces tore her ACL in December and is getting her MRI on wed. That's 9 months. There is NO way I am waiting 9 months for an MRI. After the MRI is when they determine surgery. Ugh. Really. I already knew all of this. I was just hoping that the timeframe would be me more within the next month and a half. Maybe the surgeon will take pity on me, and move up my OR date. IF I need to get surgery. I still don't even know if I need it. This is soooo frusterating.
I was slightly upset, and instead of having a nervous breakdown in the middle of the produce isle I texted my bff Mallorie. She really made me feel better. Reminding me that each case is different and THAT I need to wait and talk to the Ortho. I've remained pretty positive about this whole ordeal, simply for the fact that I have been feeling really well lately. I have been able to move around, I am not taking nearly as much medication.
No more field trips for me for a little while.
That one took alot out of me.

Lent
My way good friend Ash is just too stinkin good to me. She offered to do a 'lent' with me, so I didn't have to give up foods alone. We are going to give up certain things for 40 days, and the goal is after the 40 days I just won't want it anymore.
Day 1.
I am giving up:
-All soda(diet and not)
-Processed/packaged food
-Sugar(junkfood, fast food)
Pretty much anything that is not whole foods, or fresh I will NOT be putting in my body.
I have this book called the eat clean diet book. It's not a 'diet' book it's a book teaching you how to eat whole foods, so that you're eating the cleanest foods ever. This is supose to help you lose weight, and to help you stay healthy and strong.
Think of being healthy and losing weight as a pie. 10% of the pie is genetics, 10% is exercise and EIGHTY % is nutrition. That's alot. It's also VERY very comforting to know that me being a girlie who can't work out for awhile can still work out and lose weight. I think my goal is just to not GAIN anymore weight. I think it's totally feasable for me to lose if I make sure and follow the 'whole food' way of eating.
I highly recommend this book as a read fot abone who is struggling. It teaches you alot about food, and the types of foods to put together while making a meal.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Hairy legs
Hairy legs are sick.
Like really sick.
They freak me out! Ugh. more than you know.
So you can guess how grossed out I get when I look down and I notice that it has been a WEEK a WHOLE WEEK since I've shaved my legs. Like literally a week and an hour ago(I did it right before I left to go play football) Well every night I lay down and I take off my brace to let my leg breath a little bit and because my leg has been really dry and so it's itchy and when it itches it bleeds... therefore I have sores on my legs. It's gross. I hate it. So after my shower today, Kait looked down and was disgusted by the color of my leg(a weird tanned,purple,dark color) and was like uhhh this doesn't look good. I told her my legs were dry and she offered to rub lotion on them because I can't bend down that far right now because my leg is still pretty tight and tender.
Well she thought she was giving services to me by rubbing lotion on my legs, but I'm pretty sure I gave her service by exfoliating her hands.
**You scratch my back, I scratch yours** HA!
Sick. So needless to say we're having a leg shaving party tonight.
I never go past a day, because I like smooth legs so this has been really hard for me. Oyi.
Wish me luck!

168 Hours......
168 hours is a week..... this time last week I was lacing up my shoes on my way to go play football, as I have every Saturday for the last TWO summers. I think I can count on one hand how many weeks I missed of football. I love football!
Today I showered for the second time in a week. Do you know how hard it is balancing on one foot in a slippery shower? Cause it's pretty dang hard. I can't put ANY pressure on my right leg without my brace on. None. My knee is WAY too weak for that stuff. It took me close to an hour to shower. It took even longer to figure out the logistics of how to shower. This is going to be an interesting experience. I'm excited!
I've thought about posting pictures of my knee on my blog, but everytime that I do, blogger won't let me freakin publish my post. ( I think because I've been taking the pictures with my BB and not my actual camera) Lame. So I've uploaded pictures of my knee to facebook. If we're not fb friends then we probably should be, so you can see my pics, and if we are then you best be commenting on them. HA!
Well 168 hours down and only 1176 to go. That is if I don't have to have surgery. If I do, then I don't even want to know how many hours that will take, so we just won't count them.
xoxo

Funniest 5 yr old EVER
So I've been living with a 5 year old for the last few days.
She is seriously sooo funny. It's been pretty cold so she's been laid up inside for the last two days with me, and she has soooo much energy.
Some of the funny things that she's said/done since I've been here are:
--"Auntie Lachele you have beaverfever" -(bieber fever)
-- She just randomly busts out into songs from the radio and sings them sooo loud and knows all the words.
-- She came into the room I am staying in and goes:
"You know that you have to make your bed, Rule is.. you have to make your bed as soon as you wake up. Daddy Guy will be really mad and yell at you"
I reply "Nah Ruthie I think I will be okay"
Her response "Alright, have fun getting yelled at " HA HA!
--Her dad asked her to make her bed and pick up her toys.
she goes "Dad, I made my bed already, and this isn't my mess"
Her Dad "Oh ya Ruth...Who's is it?"-
"It's Auntie Lachele, she made the mess."
"Ruthie, she hasn't gotten up off the couch all day."
"Yah okay, fine it's my mess." ha
We've been playing Dr. and she's been 'teaching' me how to use my crutches and she gives me 'needles' to make the pain go away...then asks me to make her lunch. HA!
This little girl is seriously too smart for her own good. She is sooo stinkin cute and I'm glad that she is home from her dads. I missed her this whole summer.

Day I don't even know anymore
So the days are starting to run together, and just become one big long day. I didn't even realize that it was Friday until I logged onto FB and everyone's status' talk about it being Friday the 13th. I'm just going to stay put for today.
I had a pretty rough sleep last night. I hate sleeping on my back, and my knee was just giving me alot of problems. I just couldn't get comfortable. :( I took some percocets right before I went to bed and that usually helps me sleep. I'm taking T1 with codine during the day so that I don't get sleepy, but it just didn't really do the trick for me last night.
Staying with Kait and her family has helped me get on a schedule and most importantly I am eating. She is feeding me well, and taking really good care of me. I'm going to gain so much weight staying here ha. ha.
I'm starting to get really bored. I want to go back to work, but it's clearly evident that I am not at ALL ready to go back. I can put pressure on my leg, I can take a few steps forward on it(without crutches) I can't go to either side, and I can't go backwards. I'm just really excited that I can take a few steps forward. That's huge for me right now.
I am planning on getting back to the gym as soon as I can. Alot of upper body work outs, and lots of swimming. Once I can get around I am going to start swimming and getting my cardio in that way. I'll try 2-3 times a week and see how I am feeling, if it hurts too much I'll go once a week if it feels pretty good I'll go more. The more I am out at the gym the less I am stuck at my house.
Ha, can you tell I am super bored. It's not even been a week and I'm already planning gym dates.

Medication
I've been trying not to take a lot of medication.
I hate the way it makes me feel.
I think I am pretty sensitive to it(I think I am)
I am allowed to take 1-2 percocets every 6-8 hours.
I take one in the morning and one in the evening.I semi suffer once the one in the morning wears off.
They make me sleepy. They also make me not hungry. I kind of like that they make me not hungry. I am really worried about gaining weight. Is that bad? I like the fact that I am not hungry because I don't want to gain weight. That's pretty messed up.
I have got some other medication that is a lot less stronger than the percs so I will start taking those and see how I do with the pain, and hope that it doesn't make me so sleepy. If there is ANY time that I need to eat healthy it's right now. This is the true test :-)
Wish me luck.

Day 5
**Day 5 was yesterday**
But I didn't have time to blog so here I am now.
My parents came up to Calgary cause my grandpa was getting surgery, and I just so happen to be gimp. My parents don't come to the city very often so I knew that it would be interesting. Normally when they DO come to Calgary I drive, but clearly I am not in any capacity to drive right now, so I had to navigate my mom to different parts of the city.
She knows this so I don't feel bad saying it, but she is NOT a good city driver. We had some choice 'words' not in a calm tone a few times yesterday..ha ha but I am really happy that they came.
I got ready, and we went up to the hospital so I could see my Manager at work, and so I could hatch out some details with work. Let's just say that, that took a lot of work. I was sweating and in pain before we even got to the hospital. Boo. It made me realize that I wasn't feeling as good as I thought I was.
I was able to visit with my grandpa, and hang out with my family. I went to dinner with my parents, Kait, Ruthie and Kayla. We had fun visiting and catching up. It sure took a lot out of me and needless to say when I got back to Kaits house I was BEAT! I took some medication and went to bed.
That's day 5! I am doing well, still very sore and VERY swollen.
Each day is better than the last.

Just when I thought it couldn't get WORSE
Remember how last post I said I didn't think things in 2010 could get any worse? And that NOTHING could phase me...well I was wrong.
Let's recap 2010 for you
May-My mom had surgery and got really sick
Early June-My sister was in a car accident
Late June- My dad had Knee surgery
Mid August- My grandpa is having surgery
EARLY AUGUST- Lachele fractures her patella and tears her ACL...... UGH
Yes, you heard me right. I am busted. I can't talk, I can't move, I am laid up at home and hating my life. ha ha!
You'll be getting alot more posts from me.. Some super emo, some super not emo, it will really just depend on my mood :)
Saturday I was playing football with the boys, as I do every Saturday...and I got hit in the knee with the football, and it set a bunch of things in motion. I flew thru the air hearing my knee pop, I barrel rolled onto my patella(knee cap) and then rolled out of it. I thought I just sprained my knee, so when I tried to stand up it popped again. The pop almost made me pass out, and a friend caught me. Thanks K. :) I spent 5 hours in emerg...got some x-rays and I'm waiting to hear from the ortho surgeon to meet with me. I may or may not need surgery... We'll just have to hear what he says. Wish me luck and please comment on my blog. I need friends. I'm bored and lonely.

Day 3 and 4
Well.... Yesterday was off to a HORRIBLE start...and I think Horrible is a complete and UTTER understatement. I woke up in the most excruciating pain I could ever imagine, I barely got ANY sleep at all. I woke up in the middle of the night in alot of pain. One of my girlfriends from Utah is an Ortho Nurse at the Mountain View Hospital in Payson Utah, and so I was talking to her at 2am, bawling my eyes out because of all of the frusteration that I feel.
She made me feel better. Thanks Rianne.
She gave me some really good tips, and told me to take more meds :)
The pain got to the point that I stopped eating and drinking so I wouldn't get up to go to the bathroom, because it was the worst pain ever. I had freezies yesterday. After I took some percocets and slept for a good portion of the day, I felt better, the pain in my knee was localized, and I was able to get up from the couch and make it to the bathroom. (Pretty easily actually) It was a very big accomplishment for me.
.Yesterday I got myself my own drinks.
..I've gone up and down the stairs to my bedroom..
...I've started carrying things I need in a bag, so I can carry things with crutches...
....Today I took a shower. It took me 45 minutes to get the logistics figured out, but I did it ALONE...
This has been a complete 180 turn from yesterday. I feel great! My knee still hurts, I can't put too much pressure on it, but I feel great. I'm not taking any medication so far, and if I do need something I am not going to take percocets.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm trying to be independent.
I am trying to keep positive. Something I never did after my car accident. I am NOT going to make the same mistakes with this situation that I did with that one.
This is a prayer in disguise.
Last week... during my morning and night prayers I asked Heavenly Father to help me be more patience, and to help me be more independent. I realized yesterday that by praying for Patience and for Independence he wasn't just going to give me those vitures. He was going to give me opportunities to be patience, and to be independent, and I reallllllly can't think of any better way to accomplish these than having something like this happen to me. I am not as fast as I use to be, and I won't be for a really long time... and I have to be able to do alot of these things on my own. I can't rely on other people to help me do things that I can do on my own(but that just might take a little bit longer.) We'll see how much longer I will think positively about this. Ha.
Well I'm off to be more independent.... Wish me LUCK!

Day 1 and 2
Well... I was a sight for sore eyes.
Most of you who know me, know that I am a very active person. So being laid up in pain not being able to walk is really just not an option for me. Really it isn't. I go crazy. By the time I got home from the Hospital I was already done with this horrible ordeal, but really it was just the beginning. Oh boy. Not going to be fun. I cried a few times because of pain, but I cried a million TIMES because of frusteration.
.I can't sleep on my side.
..I can't just get up and get my own drink..
...I can't roll over from side to side...
....I can't make my own food and carry it to a place that it can be eaten....
....I can't take a bath-I tried... took me 45 minutes and I made it to the edge of the tub, and bawled for 20 minutes because of the FRUSTERATION, not because of the pain.
...I can't go up and down stairs...
..I can't go to the bathroom normally..
.I can't go to the gym.
I was in pretty rough shape. Emotionally and physically.
I tried to call someone to give me a blessing saturday night. Everyone I called with either really far away, or they didn't answer their phones. I couldn't get ahold of anyone just to talk.
I went to church Sunday. I was feeling pretty good. However, BIG BIG Mistake. I really enjoyed the talks, I loved partaking of the sacrament and being around people. The pain was almost too much to handle. I went home and bawled. Took some drugs and passed out. UGH!.
There was a quote in my ward bulletin Sunday that really applied to me.
"As we pass thru Trials of this life,let us keep an eternal perspective,let us not complain,let us become even more prayerful,let us serve others,and let us forgive one another. As we do this all things will work together for good to those of us who love God."
--Elder James Martino
I recieved a blessing after church and it brought great comfort. I am feeling good. I have still cried out of pain, I have cried out of frusteration.
Wish me luck. I still haven't heard from the Orthopedic Surgeon. Let's hope he gets me in sooner rather than later...AND... I get surgery fast. The sooner I get surgery, the sooner I can recover.

"As we pass thru Trials of this life,let us keep an eternal perspective,let us not complain,let us become even more prayerful,let us serve others,and let us forgive one another. As we do this all things will work together for good to those of us who love God."
--Elder James Martino
I recieved a blessing after church and it brought great comfort. I am feeling good. I have still cried out of pain, I have cried out of frusteration.
Wish me luck. I still haven't heard from the Orthopedic Surgeon. Let's hope he gets me in sooner rather than later...AND... I get surgery fast. The sooner I get surgery, the sooner I can recover.
