Ankle update

I went to an Orthopaedic Clinic on Monday and have discovered that I have a fractured ankle. Nothing major - but a break along the right side of my ankle with some torn ligaments. So now I'm in a walking cast for the next 3 weeks. Hopefully it will heal quickly.

Home again

Well we're home again. On Saturday I went to the hospital and had my ankle xrayed. No broken bones I'm happy to report, but they wanted me to come back on Sunday for an Ultra Sound to check for blood clots. Good news here as well - blood clots, but they are concerned by the swelling in my andle so they are sending me to an orthopaedic clinic on January the 18th. In the meantime they want me to get a walking boot but wouldn't you know it, these are on back order. Ah well, I'll just see how it goes. It's still swollen but I keep it elevated as much as I can.

We came home to have lots of work done by Bernie. He finished the trim around the stairs and trimmed off 11 windows for us. I'm so happy, they look great. He also put some cove moulding up for us in the front hall which allows us to finally paint this area as well. Today after work I primed the 3 windows in our kitchen. I can't wait to get the paint on. It's my goal to have all the windows painted in the next two to three weeks. We'll see if I meet that goal. Tomorrow I'll try to put the first coat of paint on the kitchen windows and then I'll move to the bathroom upstairs. I'd really like to get all the walls painted in the bedrooms, living room, dining room, hallways and kitchen before the summer this year. It's a big task but I'll tackle it one room at a time. I may look to see if I can hire someone to paint the walls. I have most of the paint already. We'll see as I don't mind painting and you can do a room in an evening, or on a Saturday. We'll see how busy Ralph and I get.

The final leg of our journey

We saw lots of snow on our final leg of our journey. I thought I would share some of the pictures with you...

Ankle update

The drive home hasn't been agreeing with my ankle. I guess I need to keep it elevated. When we get home I plan to go get it x ray'd as it's swelling up quite badly. I can't get a shoe on my foot so I wear one sandal and one shoe... Geeky eh!!

Homeward bound Day 2

It was a white knuckle day to day. We left Savannah and the temperature was around 39F. It quickly dropped into the low 30's. We had snow on the ground by the time we reached North Carolina and blowing snow once we reached Virginia. It snowed for a good portion of our trip. We perservered and drove to Washington Penn. We got here around 9:15 and went to dinner at Applebee's. We're now at the hotel and hope to relax and sleep in and head for the final stretch tomorrow.
