Well our Durango got sideswipped a couple of weeks ago, so the money from the insurance we purashed 4 new tires, some nice michelin's, and a 10 foot swingset. The kids love swinging and so do we parents, so we thought it would be a great idea to get this swing. I got it set up, Julie doesn't like where I put it, but it may stay where it is, it's not easy to move. I have been pushing the kids on a regular basis every evening and having a blast. Well last wednesday I was swinging Jake and cousin Braydon and was swinging myself as well. That turned out to be a bad idea, as I was swinging coming back down I didn't lift my foot in time from hitting the ground. This crunched my toes and made a popping sound. My thoughts where oh ooo, I walked inside and laid on my bed, a few minutes laters my foot decided to puff up and hurt. 7 X-rays later I have a broken metatarsal, this break is called a Jones Fracture. I am currently wearing a boot, and have had quit a bit of pain. Hell, our whole family has been hurt this year, I will include Julie giving birth in this for the obvious pain that was there. Dang I just want to swear thinking about all the crap that has happened. Jake breaking his arm, Emily and her collar bone, Eli's birth and ER visit. What a shitty year, ya I just swore, deal with it. In pain my language worsens.
I also haven't taken time off from work, this hasn't helped, in fact it probably has made things worse. I just hope this will be over soon. So I am dealing with my first broken bone, a very bruised foot(even my toes are purple), and some moderate pain.
