Handicapped Placard

On January 24th of this year, I slipped and fell and sprained my ankle really badly. I broke off a couple of pieces of bone which really hurt, and I was sent into a tailspin of worry about who would care for Declan if I couldn't. Happy New Year!! It was so upsetting and scary, not to mention the most pain I have been in since giving birth. LOL! I wonder if any new stay at home Mommies out there have hurt themselves and been unable to care for their little one? I am really active, and was just starting to see results from my daily walks and trips to the gym. I have lost most of the weight, I just need to tone up. Being off my feet and depressed is not something I was looking forward to. I could just taste all of the horrifyingly fattening food that I would soon be consuming to drown my sorrows! Luckily I have a terrific husband who took a week off to take care of me and Declan. It was also another opportunity for me to see just how incredible and kind Patrick's oldest friend Kevin is. He and his wife Kate brought over a care package of some beef stroganoff and other yummy goodies like chicken soup. Kevin throws down hard in the kitchen, so you know I was happy! Many good friends offered to come and help, and that was beautiful! I have a "frankenboot" which I must wear for a couple of months, and my Doctor signed off for me to have a handicapped placard until August! Sweet!
