Buh Bye Hardware

Friday I broke down & had the hardware removed from my right foot. I had been having a lot of pain & just couldn't take it anymore. The doctor was nice enough to let me add it to my collection. (Just for you Dad!) The smaller plate was growing into my bone. The larger H plate was rubbing on a ligament & caused a little bit of damage to it. Not enough to do anything about it, but it would have gotten pretty bad had I left the plates in. All in all, I am feeling great. Can't wait until Thursday when I get the stitches removed. I start physical therapy on the 17th & hopefully everything will be good to go after that. Thanks for all your prayers & well wishes. I really appreciate it!!

The lovely hardware!

Happy Birthday Chad!!!

Sunday was Chad's birthday. We'll say it was his 29th b-day since we have reached that age of where we are 29 & holding. Grin. I feel like he gets gypped when his b-day falls on Mother's Day like it did this year. But, my friend Angie, made him an amazing cake so I think it made up for it. We had a great day watching a movie & just hanging out after church together. Here are some pictures of his cake. Happy Birthday Chad!! You are the cheese to my macaroni!!

A look at the layers before the final layer of icing was added!

Darth Maul, notice the double ended lightsaber!!

The finished product. His face just lit up when he saw it. It was priceless!! Thanks again Angie for making such an amazing cake!!
