Update on my ankle-
Well most of you know ive been dealing with trying to get the open wound from where my bone had broke through on the one side of my ankle, well its not going to close up since the skin doesnt want to grow over the screw that is showing through my wound, yes its gross, of course now im use to it. Ive been in bed and up until last wednesday was told i can now have it down for longer periods of time. Anyways i was also sent to see a specialist who now wants to remove the hardware so this wound  can close up and we wont have to worry about infection . This has been a 3 month ordeal and im still not walking , nor have we even thought about therapy, i have a LONG Road ahead and im hoping this new year will bring me back to walking soon.....hehehehehe 

Ok i hope you all have a wonderful day and thank you again for stopping by and all your wonderful SWEET comments!!
Hugs to all,
