Waiting on Pins and Needles....

Friday, May 27, 2011

Where have I been all month? Well, lets get right to the "point"....


Do you see that little white line on my x-ray? It's not suppose to be there, and it's definitely not supposed to be inside my foot!!!
It's a needle... or what's left of the needle I kicked that it was hiding in my carpet!

-Painful? ...YES!
-Stupid? ...YES!
-Embarrassing? ...YES!
-Little needle? ...NO! It was one of those 2" long heavy duty darning needles.
-A small piece that broke and lodged in my foot? ...NO! It was about 3/4" long.
-Just under the skin? ...NO! It was next to the bone and probably sticking in the joint.
-Easy little numbing shots? NO! I found out that shots in your foot hurt like #&%*@! (Pardon my language... I am a lady after all!)
-Easy to remove? ...NO? It's not a good thing when the doctor uses words like "very difficult to find", "hiding", "fishing & digging around", or "very deep". After searching for an hour, the first doctor I saw gave up and said she couldn't find it. So I went to a podiatrist the next day, and he finally removed the needle.
-Pain medication? ...YES! Heavy duty ones... I pretty much slept through the first week.
-Crutches? ...YES! But I just graduated to one of those lovely black podiatrist's post-op walking shoes... the chunky ones that come with the stylish Velcro straps! It's probably the most expensive shoe I'll ever own... ;(





I hope these pictures aren't too graphic and make someone feel nauseous! (Not the kind of pictures you'd expect to see on a cake blog!) LOL

I get the stitches out in 5 days, then things should get back to normal around here. I have to thank my wonderful husband for taking such good care of me! I appreciate how he took care of the house, the food, cleaning up, the laundry, paying the bills, and driving our kids to all of their activities. He did all of this in addition to his normal daily job. What a guy!

I hope this is the end of my foot saga, so I can get back to cake decorating. Now it's your turn to wait on "pins and needles" for my next blog entry! And I promise to get right to the "point"!

Coming Up..... my Swiss Meringue Buttercream recipe!

A Quick Update

Tuesday, May 10, 2011

I just wanted to give a quick update to all of you who were wondering about my son's percussion group and Red Bull's "Tum Tum Pa" drumming competition. Well...... they are GOING TO BRAZIL! They were chosen as one of the top 5 groups in the USA to go to Rio de Janeiro and compete in the world championship! I'm sooooo thrilled for these boys. (If you missed my last couple of posts... you can scroll down and read all about it.)

I also wanted send out a huge thank-you to all of you who were so supportive and voted for Noob Heist. It's the chance of a lifetime for them..... I just wish I could go too! LOL

Anyway, to all of my Brazilian friends who live near Rio.... go to the competition for me, then tell me all about what happens! I think it takes place on June 11th. Don't forget to yell and cheer for Noob Heist.... and of course my amazing son! ;)
