Ouch

Well I went to work out on Wednesday after picking ken up from work. My legs were still sore from the weekend but I could walk again (I think I had a reaction to my Physical therapy) anyways I decided not to do any legs at all so I did upper body. What happened next is what I believe happened but I have no real proof. I did this exersize that you put weight on the system and then twist the upper half of your body while standing up. I stopped that exersize before I was done because of pain in my leg and took ken to the rest of the machines he wanted to do. I told him I could not walk down the stairs so we took the elevator and went to the change room. When I took my shoes and socks off my ankle was super swollen. We skipped the hot tub and headed off to the imediate care clinic. They exrayed and I have one maybe 2 breaks in the ankle. So I got an air cast and a referal to a bone doctor next week. Its rather odd because it does ache and such but there is no real pain unless I accidently move it one certian way. So now I am hobbling around like a fool on crutches. What a pain. Today we went to get some groceries and I got to drive those funky carts at walmart.

My ghost has visited again.

Well this is the latests in a string of odd happenings around this house. When we first moved in here we went grocery shopping and bouoght a ton of food. As always Ken carried in all the bags while I unpacked. When I had everything unpacked I noticed there was a number of items I had purchased that were missing. I thought this was odd and asked Ken if he had brought everything in. He assured me he had. I moved the bags around and even shoved all the bags into one bag, I had not missed any in the sea of bags. I went outside to recheck the van and nothing was in it. I came back into the house and there were 4 bags of groceries sitting on the kitchen floor. I asked Ken where he had found them and he denied having put them there. Either he was pulling my leg ot the bags walked in on thier own. Rather odd.



Next my inlaws were over visiting and had left the previous day, my ferrets were playing in a plastic bag from the pharmacy I think it was. when I went to lift Finn out of the bag I noticed a photo in there. No one I had ever seen before. Thinking my inlaws may have dropped it I send them a scan of the photo and they had never seen it before. I suppose the ferrets could have found the photo somewhere in the room. Who knows.

Then sitting in the middle of the living room with no dirt on it, and crumbling to the touch there was a collar. I blogged about the collar on December 10 and December 11th. If you want to read the whole story behind that.

Which brings us to today. I had been looking for the bottle of Pet Calm because I wanted to cut Corky's nails. I could not find it anywhere. I looked on my bed side table. I looked on the kitchen counter, on the fridge, in the kitchen window, on and around my desk. Nothing. After 2 days of looking I was ready to say to heck with it and just buy more. Its onl y $9 a bottle after all. Well I walked back up to my computer to do something and low and behold there is the bottle sitting in a spot on my desk it could not have been missed previously. I normally eat at the computer and it was sitting exactly where I put my dish. You would think I would have noticed it if it had been there all the time. A bit odd

Ken thinks I am nuts. I am begining to wonder myself.

Graduated

I got the news yesterday that I graduated as a certified dog trainer from the Animal Behaviour College. I wanted to get a certification behind my name to help with my Dog Training business. I am glad to have gotten it all done with. There is a course I want to take in Texas sometime, likley when I am in better shape.

My birthday

Well my birthday went pretty well. Matthew my middle son sent me the neatest looking dragon. The dragon is wrapped around a crystal ball. I just love it. With the dragon was a birthday card that had this voice on it. It really made my day that he remembered me. Normally Ken has to remind the kids, this year he did not.

Pasha sent me something too but thanks to the post office I will have to wait a little bit for it. I am excited to get it.

We went to Ruth Chris's Steakhouse and it was great. It had the best food ever.

Free Wow Pet

For you blizzard fans out there. If you sign up you will get a free ingame pet robot.

Worked out

I worked out again today. My feet are still feeling great. I have had no pain since I got the new shoes. I am still boggled at how much of a difference it has made in my life. I can just hope it keeps up. I am suppose to go to physical therapy next week for my feet but I am not sure I will need it. I will go the first time to see what happens.

I also got an appoint for a sleep study on the 27th. That should be interesting. They want to find out why I wake up so much at night and why I fall asleep at weird times. I hope it helps the problems.

Tobias helped me with my business cards to change the address on them. Stupid me, I lost the file that I could edit and so he took the JPG and editted that for me and got my new address and webpage put on there. The webpage is HTTP://PawsOnPerfection.com but I am still fighting with dreamweaver to figure out how to make the pages so bare with me on that. (I miss frontpage)

I took my business cards into Staples today and the woman said they would be ready tomorrow. I was amazed at how fast they would have them done.

Things that make you go Hmmm

Ken and I were talking about things that people report to the police as missing or stolen. Its kind of funny because it really is not wholey based on a monetary value.

If I have a $500 cell phone and it goes missing I call the cellphone company and report it lost and curse myself for not paying for the replacement plan.

If I have a $500 car that goes missing I call the police and report it as stolen.

Same value different responces.

Again if I drop a $75 dollar watch that goes missing I mutter and curse and go buy a new one.

If a $75 toaster goes missing from my kitchen I call the police because I was robbed.

Ok maybe we are nerds but it was interesting to think about.


Another interesting thing is how good my feet feel in these shoes. I have had so many doctors and not one went "well how are your shoes?" Do they want us better? or do they want us returning?

And when it comes down to that What about the shoe lady that helped me. She watche me walk she stood me on this little metal device that messured me foot in all directions and then she picked shoes she showed me how they should fit. Hell she tied my laces! then she walked me walk in them.

We used to get service like this but that has gone by the way side. Now we walk into payless or walmart and look at millions of shoes and pick one out and buy it. What did we lose when we lost this type of service? I know what I lost. I lost about 5 years of my life walking around in so much pain I sometimes wished I had a wheel chair. Its sad, what we lost in exchange for convience.

Mashed Van

I picked ken up from work today so we could drive down to Fort Knox to get me signed up for Tricare Prime. On the way there I went to make a left turn on a side road (I wanted to check the GPS and what not) While I was in the turn some guy plowed his truck and trailer into the back of my poor van. I now have a mashed van.

What was annoying is I got out and asked the guy if he was ok. He got out and yelled at me that I didnt have my turn signal on(I did).-blink- Nice to see you are more worried about yourself then anyone else dude.

Aiden (the dog) was asleep and wokeup long enough to grump that we jarred the van while he was snoozing and Ken was fine.

Well the police showed up and took our stories and will be filing a report. I guess it happens. The amazing thing was ken called 911 since we didnt know where we were to call the local police and they pin pointed us from his cell phone. That is awesome.

We spent a fair bit of time walking around and my feet feel great. I am not useing the inserts and I have no pain at all. Awesome.
