Can a get a little Ham

Sebastian is to funny these days. He is such a Ham. He has always been pretty good in restaurants, and this time he was great. We went to a really awesome Buffet, the food was so good and he ate really well. But...(knew that was coming) the path from the table to the buffet went past the huge dessert bar. Of course Sebastian's looming around this part of the buffet, then I see him reach up grabs a bite sized piece of cake( can't remember what they are called) stuffs it in as fast as he can. Then looks around to see if anyone noticed. I loved the look on his face when he saw that he had been busted. He got the biggest grin on his face he could barley keep the cake in his mouth. All I could do was laugh the little sneak.

My Sweetheart


Happy 40th Anniversary

On Thanksgiving Day Myrna and Steve or better known as Big Papa, and Nana Myrna celebrated their 40th Wedding anniversay. We were so glad we could be with them. Way to go you two!

Go GMen!

What a fun game! We went to AZ to visit the family for Thanksgiving and we went to a Giants vs Cardinals game. We all had such a good time, Sebastian loved it! Scott of course was in heaven we visit the church of Football on any given Sunday, and Saturday, and Monday, and sometimes Thursday. We were high up but it didn't matter we could see everything just fine. I still a little slow on all the rules but it's been fun watching with my boys.
My Boys gotta love 'em

Lil' Audrey's Gym

Well my recovery is going well. I go to physical therapy once a week, where Tyler kicks my butt. He has me doing so many strange exercises to strengthen my muscles around my knee. When you have surgery to repair a ligament your brain cuts off the muscles surrounding the injury. So for a while I couldn't get my quad to make a muscle and it is really small now from muscle lag. So Tyler has been helping me get my brain to make it work again. It's amazing to me how it takes years to build up a strong muscle and seconds to destroy it. But it's been kind of fun doing so much. I started to regress so Tyler said "water therapy". I was thinking great more money spent on my bum knee. But luckily I found an awesome gym. Lil' Audrey's in Ogden. This place is off the hook, it's family owned (local first right) and I just love everyone who work's there. Celeste (Audrey's daughter) is an athlete, she runs the 100 mile races (crazy) and as soon as I got there she made it her mission to get me better, if not stronger than before. With my membership I get free personal training, free daycare (huge bonus) free weight loss consulting ( she has me keep a food journal that I show to her everyday, so if I cheat she knows it) it has a pool, and tons of equipment and the best part is, it's only 27 dollars a month. I love going there it's decorated so cute and everyone is awesome. http://www.lilaudreys.net/index.html
My recovery is going great now, I swim everyday and I am doing the Wii fit at home, I love the fit it's really fun. I have almost full range of motion back, I can not only make a muscle with my quad, I am getting sore from the work. Tyler says that's really good! And to top it all off I am losing weight woo hoo.
Scott has been so awesome during all this, he has taken on 4 job's. His job with OAC, taking care of me when I am to sore or swollen to get out of bed, taking care of Sebastian (full time job in itself) and he does 90% of the house work. He really is super Dado, husband, motivator. So to repay him I am watching a lot of football, and getting into the game. And listening to a lot of hip hop and rapp, which I never really liked. But I have to say I am loving JayZ his song the Threat has been my anthem for my recovery. Any time I feel like I can't do it I think of that song and I "Get that dirt off my shoulders". He loves that I am sharing some of his interest and I love giving back to him, I really think it has brought us closer. I at least know he is keeping 2 vows sickness and in health, and richer or poorer.
Thank you to everyone, for you help and for thinking and praying for me to get better. I really have felt loved by everyone in my life...Your all the best...

Surgery

My sweet husband fell on me from a latter in August. He fell because the light fixture he was trying to take down cut him very badly, he needed 15 stitches. During all the chaos I hurt my knee as well, at the time we didn't think much of it. We were trying to stop the bleeding from the massive cut on Scott's arm.
My knee buckled and was sore, but it never really swelled or showed signs of a serious injury. So I put on a ace bandage and walked with a limp. Well a month goes by and its still not better so I go to see the Doc. After x-ray and MRI turns out I ruptured my ACL. What... I never heard a pop and my knee was barly swollen, I thought it so strange the ligament tore and I didn't swell or bruise.
Well surgery was needed (yikes) I don't like the thought of being put "under" six months of rehab is needed, and here's the worse part of it all. NO SKIING!!! I was crushed, and the poor Dr had to watch someone he just meet cry like a little baby, and I did I balled. What a boob I was. We had already bought season passes to powder mountain and I can't use them. I even asked if we could just put a really good brace on and do the surgery after ski season. His reply was sure if you want to tare your PCL too. What a bummer, Powder Mountain was nice enough to give us a refund on my pass. And Scott bought me a Wii what a sweety.
The surgery went well it's been three days, and although my knee is the size of a basketball and hurts, the Dr says I should heal fine.
Everyone around us has been so awesome. Helping out with Baz and making us meals, if not we would starve I'm not sure Scott can cook anything but meat.
Sue and Dad have watched Baz and she made this Lasagna that was so yummy. Jamie also brought us this yummy chicken dish, we all had seconds. Kerin was so awesome to she took Baz to play and came over to sit with me and help me pee, while Scott went to the U game with Josh. And Troy took Baz to play with his kids, so he wasn't just watching TV. Steve and Myrna bought me pretty roses and wished they could be closer to help, which made me feel awesome you it's the thought that counts. And Chris and Julia called Scott and texted me a ton to make sure I was okay, awesome friends
Thank you so much everyone for being there for us you have helped make things much easier since I am still stuck in bed.
Love you all for all the help

I will keep you posted on the rehab
