Casting Call

Well, I have a free moment to update what is going on with the ol' foot.  We went to the orthopedic doctor yesterday and found out that my foot is NOT broken!!!!!!  I have a badly bruised bone and where two of my bones meet they separate a little bit when I put weight on my foot.  The doctor decided that it would be best to put a cast on my foot for four weeks, so I don't do any damage.  He did say that a bruised bone can be a lot more painful than an actual break--I can't attest to that because I've never had a broken bone, but I do know that I've been in A LOT of pain!!  So now I'm sporting a bright orange cast with a "T" and "Vols" on it.  Gee, I wonder who did that!?!   I do have a "shoe" that I can attach to the cast, so I'm hoping in a few days I will be able to put that on and not have to use my crutches any more!!!  The doctor said I'll have to be the one who determines whether I can do it or not.  All, I know is that since I've had the cast on, I'm not in constant pain, so I think we are on the right track. 

This weekend, we have family coming into town for Sophie's baptism.  Josiah is excited to see Bup-Bup, Mimi and Granny Whoosh.  It'll be nice to let the church people have a break from meals and helping out with the kids.  There is no way that we would be able to survive without their help.  We have continually been praising God for all the help.  Please continue to pray that I'll be walking soon than later without crutches!
