Okay, many of you know the story of my ankle right? Well for those of you who don't let me tell it to you. While we were in Mexico in August, I was on my was to the spa to get a wonderful leg & foot massage. I was SO excited for this all day. As I was walking to the golf cart for a ride to the spa, I walked down a set a stairs(well I was trying to walk down the stairs) when suddenly I was completely on the ground in total pain. I had fallen down the steps and rolled my ankle while hearing a loud POP! The Hotel bellboys came and got me with wheel chair and took me to the Hotel Dr. She then wanted to send me to the hospital. I said no as I was not wanting to go to a hospital in Mexico. She said at that point that she thought it was broken. She just gave me a shot and I said I would be fine and I was off to enjoy the rest of my trip, trying very hard not to be a baby, but I was in TOTAL pain! Anyway to make a long story short. That was almost three month ago and since we have been home it has really been bothering me, but my sweet husband said oh, it's not broken. I am sure it is a high ankle sprain that is really painful. So my life goes on and I continue to complain. So FINALLY my SWEET husband made me an apt with the Dr. that he just saw about his ankle that has been bothering him.hmmn!(poor guy) I saw the doctor today and he took an x-ray and OH MY GOSH!!!!! I should have listened to myself. It is BROKEN and I have been dealing with this all this time. Kelly, don't ever call me a wimp! so as for now I am in a soft cast for a week and then I have to go back to have an ultrasound done on it next week to look at the tendons and ligaments then we will decide what to do.Note to self- listen to the way YOU feel and not what OTHERS tell you! I love you Kelly...........It is broken on the Fibula just lower than the arrow right above my ankle.

Awww first Braeden and now you :( I hope you feel better, that is no fun at all!!
I can't believe you have been waling around on that for 3 months!! YOu definately deserve something great like diamonds or a new car for Christmas!
Amy, Amy, Amy! You need to listen to your body. No one else can hear it when it saying I hurt. When it hurts there is usually something wrong. Those of us who have things hurting a lot seem to suck up more than we should sometimes. (afraid of what others may think) I just hope the fix doesn't take months and months. Please take care of yourself and LISTEN a little better!!

That is crazy!!! I can't believe that you really broke your foot. For as tender as it has been and since you haven't been able to walk for months it makes perfect sense. But I have to say that I still think Mike's nickname he made for you is funny. I hope that you can get it taken care of soon. I love you and am so sorry that you have been in so much pain for the last 4 months.
