Well, today was a rough day! I had a lot of trouble motivating around yesterday. After cooking supper, cleaning up the mess and getting all the laundry done I was having a lot of trouble just walking around. Then I was up most of the night simply because I was in pain.
I got up this morning and went to work. Left the house it was freezing outside! Got to work and the more I sat there the more the pain increased. So, when I went out for my first break I called the doctor. I got in to see Jamie today. I laid all the cards out on the table and told her I was not there for her to tell me that I needed to lose my leg. I was there to find a cure to help me with the pain and to help me get the leg better. So, she decided that we would try and get the water weight gain down and then go from there. She said that she could not determine how much the leg would decrease because to her it looked like there was about 8 - 10 lbs of water in the one leg alone. Needless to say she put me off of work until Monday. She said that I was supposed to go home and go to bed with my feet up. We as Mom's like sitting down and putting our feet up until someone tells us that we have to ... then we find excuses to do things. But I am trying to be a good little girl and stay with my feet propped up.
Today is Nathan & Kasey's 2nd month ... so he worked yesterday to make enough money to take her out to supper and a movie. With Kasey's Mom as a shaperone. He will be home sometime this evening.
Gordon and Zach went to a Boy Scout Camp Out ... YEAH and it 27 outside! They are crazy! They will be home sometime tomorrow afternoon.
So, that leaves me and Rachel. We have laready watched a movie together and now she is on the desktop and I am on Gordon's laptop. Sitting on the couch with my feet propped up!

I am sorry to hear that you had a rough dya and I do so hope that you will be feeling better soon. I will also be praying for you. Brandie
Let me tell you something wierd ... I got up this morning and my feet and legs are actually SMALL! The medicine that she put me on yesterday had me running to the bathroom every 15 minutes it seemed like! WOW! I cannot believe how small my ankles are. The only problem now is whatever is actually connected to the muscle in my leg is protruding and you can see the outline and shape of it. Maybe that will help her to identify what we need to do as a course of action to make it go away. I just know that this leg is causing me severe pain at times and the pain is driving me out of my mind. So yes, I would appreciate all your prayers.
