I'm Screwed!

That's right, this is my new hardware. After I went to the Dr. on Monday, I found out that I broke my 5th metatarsal at a very interesting place. The tendon that attaches to this bone was attached to a small fragment that had completely broken off. So, they had to go in on Thursday to re-attach this fragment to the rest of the bone and therefore re-attach the tendon. I am on complete bedrest until Monday and then have a follow-up with my doc. After the surgery was over, the Dr. talked to Jason and told him that I will most likely be in a walking boot in 2 weeks! I'm so excited I can't even tell you!

This accident couldn't have happened at a worse time for us. On Monday, we also found out that Jason will only be employed until the 15th of this month. With the construction business the way it is, this came as no surprise to us, but it is still hard news to swallow. At this time, our health insurance will also end. With me being unable to work right now, I'm afraid we will be without insurance . . . it's so frustrating! I have always been a "the cup is half full", turn lemons into lemonade, positive type of person. And I still feel at peace inside about our situation, but I just wanted to put it out there that if any of you reading this know of ANY jobs, PLEASE let me know! This is the hardest working man you will ever meet and he is a quick learner . . . the kind of guy you want working for you!
