AS IF!

As if having a bum foot wasn't enough, I manages to get UTI/bladder infection/and or kidney stones, super amazing, this pain is by far worse than my foot! Ended up going to the acute care clinic where I got literally got the bums rush, we went in at the last minute, not realizing they were closing, but whatever, I just hope the pain goes away! I am frikin miserable!!!!

Yucky!

Well it's my lady time, and it's the first one I've had without my birth control in along time, I ran out last month and with having one car and a cast, that appointment was the last thing on my mind! One word REGRET! Shit, everything hurts!!!! Damn!!

Second thing, I've noticed myself gravitating towards unneeded drama I've decided to pull away from making military friends or offering myself out for help, I really in the end am happy with where I am and who I'm friends with, I guess I enjoyed showing people new things, but in the process, I've put myself out there way more than I should of, nothing happened, but it could of, and that's just not me! So I guess the way I'm looking at it, if someone approaches me to be friends, cool, if not, cool. I've got rid of all the military "support" pages but one, I need something to read lol!

So, only 6 more days until my cast comes off! I've figured end of October will be 6 months, I plan to get my second surgery in December, mid December, which means I'm planning on doing a good amount of hiking and whatever I want in November! Since there is a chance we could be leaving the island between march and may, the second surgery wouldn't allow for me to hike much at all, I also hope we get to visit Kauai before we leave!

My cast is also driving me nuts! It's getting loose and is just driving me nuts! What a surprise a cast driving me nuts! Unheard of!

New obsession: Grey's anatomy!

Lol, pics from the beach, ko'olina, it's my favorite spot! Can't wait to get in the water again!!!

Then my foot and grey's anatomy lol

Tropical triple crown

So Matt signed up for races today is the half marathon, I'm jealous, but whatever, I'm over it lol, well of course it's all the way downtown, and parking was iffy, so I opted to park at this one place, well that is clear across from the finish line, so I only saw Matt at the one mile mark, so now I'll be waiting here for them, won't see them finih, so no pics :-/ I only got a couple of Matt, and those are still pretty blurry, iPad no bueno in the dark lol

My face is still peeling :-/ and hurts! , must learn to leave it alone!!!! Easier said than done!

Blah I'm ready to go back to bed! I'm also ready to be active again, and I wish I was close to the finish line :( I can't move the car bc I might not find them then, lame!

The foot and the sun rising in the back !!

Oops!

It's been a few days since I blogged, it's been a good week!

Monday, took Matt to work, and went to chilis for lunch with Amy and Alison, then went to pick up Matt...

Tuesday, went to the beach with Jana, totally got sunburnt !!! Paying for that one still! My face is peeling, it pretty much hurts!

Wednesday, me and Matt had a great night, he cooked us dinner then took me up to north shore, the sunset wasn't visible though, stupid clouds, but it was still worth it, we got some shaved rice, and sat in the car at the beach, very peaceful!

Thursday, we went to see the avengers it was like 2 1/2 yrs. since we've been to the theater, it was a pretty good movie, not what I would of picked to see, lol, I would of gone w "what to expect when your expecting" :) anyway it was still fun, Matt got a sbux and I got a jamba, then we sat around and finally went in for the movie, of course got popcorn and a coke lol

Friday, went to the beach with Michelle and Melissa, it was a good time, put some sunscreen on this time lol

Then today did nothing, basically laid in bed, did some laundry and cleaned up a bit, and took a shower, tomorrow Matt has a half marathon downtown, so we will be up extra early for that :-/ lol like 4 am early :-/

Pics from ko'olina lagoons :) and one if Nell of course! :)

Blah

Well, I'm still a bit mush brained, not feeling up to doing much! These crutches hurt like crazy! I need padding, they kill my hands and armpit areas!

Tomorrow I'm actually going to take Matt to work and meet a couple girls for a late lunch at chilis (aka margaritas) lol, and then Tuesday suppose to go to the beach, still not sure about that:-/ we will see though, I probably shouldn't bail on ppl, they are going to stop asking me to hang out!

My foot has been feeling a lot better, and I only mildly had a freak out last night, couldn't breath and wanted the cast off, but I worked through it, it was really hard, omg, never felt like that before! Only 2 1/2 more weeks until I HOPEFULLY, fingers crossed, a walking cast, I've taken good care so far, so I don't see why I wouldn't, if I don't I may cry, I have so been able to wiggle my big toe some, and the rest of course wiggle fine, except my second toe is still kinda stiff, no need over do it though!

Damn, I can't wait until I can walk! Frick you seƱor crutches! (edited the eff word, my mon reads this) omg, Tammy does have a filter and manners! Who would of thunk!!!

My adorable niece and a pitbull, ahh watch out she might get eaten, doubtful, they are very calm if raised correct!

That's all

Random running photos

Photos from both swamp romps 2011 & 2012, wahiawa pineapple run 10k, heroes run 5k, gunstocks trails half marathon, and Honolulu marathon, only one missing is ford island bridge run I did in April, first run without Jenna, so I didn't even bring my camera :-/

Ugh

I'm getting cabin fever, like sleeping far to long, like 12+ hours a night, it's no good, and I'm always tired! It's annoying, but I haven't much else to do, so sleeping seems ok to me!

I miss running, working out, hiking, shit WALKING!! I wanted this surgery so I shouldn't complain, but not getting it, would give me an increased chance of arthritis in my feet, so it makes sense, I'm just finding it hard, and it being half way through, hopefully I've been doing everything right, and will get my walking cast in 3 weeks!

Blah!!

That's me kicking butt at the warrior dash, lol, ok maybe I didn't kick that much ass, but I tried lol

1 hour

That's the longest I can be out without my foot throbbing from not being elevated, it's rather frustrating! I also need a cast cover, I'd love to go to the beach, like LOVE! So I need to find one, maybe a pharmacy store...

Tonight, I did something I never thought i would do, went to an AA meeting, it was actually really good, kinda gotta suck it up and go for it, I don't have a full out problem, but Matt does, I went to support him and it also opened my eyes to a possibility i have slight problems, and me and Matt together kinda fed off each other, now we just need to keep doing what we are doing and be supportive for each other, not I say I'll never drink again, but I need to think of drinking in a different way, the issue runs in my dads side, and my dad (whom I have no contact with) is an alcoholic, I don not ever want to be like him. So attending classes once awhile will help! Hearing people's stories helps too!

My foot is getting better, I'm really taking it day by day, and try not to rush things, and be patient, I can slightly move my toe but not over doing it, hopefully 3 weeks and I get a walking cast!!!

I also got some flowers from matt today :) they are pretty :) and he grilled me chicken and steak :)! Yummy!!

That is a picture of my sweet Maggie Mae, who will be 10 in June!

Random pictures I found from before surgery

Lol, I forgot about these pictures

Me before surgery, then me and Matt, and when I got home, they put that on me after I got my IV out, I hate bees and I frikin hate needles!

Yikes!

Eventful day!

Today was our spouse social, basically a bunch of wives get together once in awhile, getting to know each other better, it was at a place called a cup of tea, in Kailua, it was a cute place, we all got dressed up, basically ha little finger sandwiches, scones, teas, and desserts! I'm not going to lie those scones were amazing!! My foot on the other hand HURT, no where to prop it up, basically my leg was swelling over my cast, toes bright red! I can not keep it down that long, the pain sucks!

Before we left, my sweet, loving, adorable husband came home with a few presents for me, hello kitty duct tape, some sharpies to sign my cast, and a very pretty necklace that he broke lol, just needs a new chain :) his sweetness melts my heart! I love him :)

Tonight he cooked chicken fried rice, my favorite!! Watty came over, now they are playing league of legends and I am in bed lol

It's been a great day :)

Random pics of this day :)

New cast!

Ok, this one is way worse lol, it's fiberglass and allows no movement, it's awful, I hate feeling claustrophobic!

The stitches were removed, I cried of course! Ugh it was just so gross, the doctor came in and messed w my toe, that felt like a bunch of bees stinging my big toe :-/

Ok I'm posting pics lol so be warned :)

Gorgeous day!

Yay! It's Wednesday, tomorrow at this time this cast is coming off! I am elated lol, although a little grossed out about what my foot will look like, I'm not sure if I want to see lol, Matt will be there w me at least :) he can look and tell me haha, so gross, not sure if the stitches will come out of not, if so hopefully it won't hurt to much!

Good bye tomorrow you pain in the ass cast :)

Tuesday, May 8, 2012

Need this cast off!!

Peeve: This frikin cast!!! Hahah!

It's making me crabby, like I randomly bump it and it's over stupid things, mainly me not paying attention lol, but it's getting old super quick!!

Thursday, you can not come quick enough!!!!!!!

Dance moms Miami!! Woot woot!!

Monday, May 7, 2012

Had a good day!

I'll start w my peeve for the day, I cannot find anyone who has gone through what I have to get an honest response of what it was like to start running and if they felt improved or if it was worse! I'd be devastated if it was worse and I couldn't run (yes it's possible) ugh! So frustrating !!!

Otherwise, I've had major overnight pain, also had to cut my pain pills down, I was taking 6, now I'm at three , for today, and yesterday, 2 tomorrow and wednesday, and 1 on Thursday, since I go to the doctor Thursday, ugh my pain is ridiculous! Sharp, stinging, numbing, warm weird pain! In sure it's just healing...

On a happy note, had 3 friends from Starbucks stop by to visit today, Jana brought Teddy's burgers, it was delicious!! It was fun and nice to see them again!

Secret life and my foot lol

Sunday, May 6, 2012

Sore!

After all the events yesterday, I am feeling it haha, my butt hurts, my I guess they are called "lats", armpits, and hands! Today was uneventful, slept in, Matt made tacos, I cut the veggies lol, he also washed the car (oooohhhhh ahhhhhh ) :) then we watched army wives ( which he totally enjoys even though he doesn't admit it !! Then watched amazing race finale!

No accidents w my foot today, basically laid on the couch all day! Matt goes back to work tomorrow, I'm pretty worried about it, how am I going to eat, and get my stuff from the bedroom to living room :( ugghh, oh well this time was going to come regardless, I guess I'll figure it out :) hopefully I'll have some visitors this week!

On a venting note, I hate people who brag and show everything they get off, I'm glad I found the error in doing that, and no longer do!

Saturday, May 5, 2012

Super moon!

Nothing to do w my feet minus I had to hobble out which is always hard, I put my iPad down my pants lol!

LONG DAY!

Well it was my day I went out with the girls! First went to a meeting for the FRG (family readiness group) at a coffee shop in wahiawa, was about 2 hours, think we got some good points across, sometimes I think I'd be a good leader for something like this, but I'll sideline for now :) Kind of excited IDE upcoming events!

We (Louise, Becky, and I) went shopping well an attempt! We first went to chilis, had a margarita and then soup and salad :) it was good, first drink in 9 days!

Then we went to old navy, tried a dress on, small size was a bit to clingy, and the medium was to big on the top, but I get a new cast on Thursday, so in guessing it'll be a lot smaller! So wearing a shorter dress won't be do embarrassing lol

Well crutches and shopping are a no go! These stores don't even have wheelchairs! I was miserable, sweating so bad! My hands, arm pits, and feet were throbbing! I got nothing, Louise and Becky got a few things!

Then I was done, wanted to go to forever 21, but didn't have it in me! We stopped at Ross, they also had no wheelchairs!! Ugh!!! And no seating by the fitting rooms so I couldn't even wait back there for them to try my dresses in, I gave up and sat up front :-/ maybe me and Louise will go back Friday!

I'm so clumsy, I am now in bed relaxing! Feeling extremely tired!! Just kicked the side of my foot, in accident, ugh I hope Thursday the doctor tells me I've been doing good and it's healing, even with my few mishaps :-/ I've been trying so hard to be careful, even today I had no accidents, just standing up to long!

I've had some weird tingling in my foot though, hoping it is normal, I an not in to much pain so that's good, just feels a bit more swollen, hopefully it'll go down by the morning!

Love this!

Call me a blonde but just figured out blogger and blogspot were the same, so now I can post pics on here a lot easier!! Woot!

Woot 5,000th game played, aka get a life Tammy!!!

1st adventure out in the world!

Charley's!!
 Yesterday was my first trip OUT of the house in a week, LOL, it was pretty great to get out that's for sure, even if I did just sit in the car! Oh but I did drive the car from the PX to the commissary! OOHHHH!!! Matthew also got me charley's it was pretty delicious!!

My foot was hurting by the time we got home, and I still hadn't conquered going up the stairs, LOL, so lets just say i looked totally ridiculous!!!
Then we rented a few movies, "We bought a zoo" and "Three Muskateers" they were both good, but we bought a zoo was way better, it was SO cute, definitely loved it, Matthew cooked us dinner, chicken, salad, and a potato, it was delicious!!! Louise and her son Blake then brought me this cute drawing over that he had made for me, aww!!

I also wish I could of made it out with the people from starbucks for dinner, but I'm just not there yet!

Tomorrow I am going to go shopping, MAYBE, I'm a little worried about that feat too LOL!

Adventures of the crippled!

Just another day! LOL, I took a shower today, oh wow, such excitement! I think I am going to get a shower chair actually, I am not sure that it will fit, but maybe just a stool or something to sit on while in the shower, I'm not getting to keep my conditioner in long enough (wow what troubles of life I have hey?)

It is sucky to stand to long though my leg starts to throb, and for whatever reason I started feeling kind of sick after the shower, but I managed to get my clothes out and get dressed, then helped matt even put away some laundry! oh the accomplishments are racking up!!!

I continued to do some school work, Matt had an interview with a guy for someone he use to work with, the guy seemed pretty concerned on how I was doing, when Matt had mentioned I had surgery and that they'd have to do the interview outside, LOL, it was whatever for me, but it was a clearance interview so more or less kind of personal and what not!

Well, then I actually cooked dinner tonight!! I made my Pizza Casserole which is delish here's the recipe not that anyone reads this or cares but whatever

1 package of turkey meat (or hamburger)
LOL So pro!
-cooked
1 can of can mushrooms (drained)
1 can of tomato sauce (meir glen organic is great)
-mix that in with the cooked meat allow to cook for a few mins

put into cooking dish
also pre-heat the oven for 375

layer the mixture with mozzarella cheese
layer with biscuits (i use the flakin' layers homestyle butter)

cook for 30 minutes or until the biscuits are browned :)

Ok well, I cooked it was awesome, it's been a week since I was even in the fridge!! I just had Matt bring me and chair and I set that up and got all the cooking and cleaned up, Matt put the stuff in the dishwasher though, and took the food out and served it, all in all good time!

Then tonight I shall watch TV, and go to bed, LOL, such a great time! Oh yeah, and I have the greatest friends ever, I got a card in the mail today from Jenna :) and then the other day Jana came over with some flowers and chocolates, along with some lunch! it was really good Genki Ramen! Super delish!!


Ahh so can 't wait until I can be mobile again!!!
