How did that happen?

The title of my post has to do with my doctor's visit last Monday. For the last 2 years i have been having problems with my left ankle. I couldn't put pressure on the outside of my ankle, or prop it up, or basically even touch it without it throbbing. I could feel something in my ankle but kept brushing it off. Well finally I went to the doc and he thought it was a cyst and didn't want to mess with it so he sent me to the foot doctor. I got there and he took x-rays and came into the room and proceeded to ask me what I had hit it on. Well nothing that i could think of. So, he tells me that what is in my ankle is a tiny piece of bone. YEP!! how'd that happen? I am flabbergasted at this moment. Needless to say he proceeded to tell me that I would have to have it removed in order for the pain to go away. He lets me know that he can do that for me in the office. UMMM, no! So i will be having surgery Friday morning to have this piece of a bone chip removed.

Yes, I had a child, went thru 9 1/2 hrs of labor w/ no meds, then finally had to have a c-section and i am telling you that I am still a wimp when it comes to seeing someone cut on me. Give me the medical channel anyday with any kind of surgery and I will watch all of that but no thanks on seeing my own, or knowing anything about a needle coming near me...lol.

So wish me luck!!

and I apologize for not keeping up lately with everyones' posts. My new job (well the new dept i am in) is great but it is a lot more than I am used to. A LOT!!! My manager has me doing a ton of projects for her plus i am already training a few people (why she thinks I am capable of that i don't know because I am new to the area also). Anyway, needless to say I have been pulling long hours the past 2 weeks. Hopefully I will catch up with everyone soon.

What did you say?

This might not be funny to some people but I had to share what my son said the other night as I was putting him to bed. See, whenever I get upset I have a tendency to sigh really loud so my son has started mimicking me to which I will reply "don't huff and puff at me". Well, the other night he wouldn't listen so I sighed at him and he turned and looked at me and said "Are you huffing puppy at me?". It was too cute and me and my hubby just cracked up. Just one of those things that only a child could say to make you laugh.. :)

New Year!!

Hope everyone had a good New Year's!!! I have been super swamped with work lately hence the delay in posting. Love the new area I work in. We have to deal with the daily interest rates for the ARM home loans and it is really interesting. Alot better than the old dept I was in. Anyway, I had a fantastic Christmas. Hubby bought me a Canon S3 IS powershot digital camera for Christmas. I asked for a new mixer but he knew I wanted the camera more. I just never could bring myself to spend that kind of money on me, so he did it for me. I was so surprised. Now i can shoot video of my son, and pictures. It is 6 megapixels, w/ 12x zoom. Love it love it love it. I posted a pic of one to the side :) When I figure out the stuff on it I will have pics galore online..lol. Anyway, just wanted to touch base and wish everyone a belated happy new year!!
