We Are Still Alive!!

I am so sorry that it has been so long since I have posted. Needless to say, there has been DRAMA in the Turner household. For anyone that may have been in the dark with us, I tore my ACL almost 2 months ago. Apparently, my husband was jealous that I was getting all of the attention and he decided that we didn't have enough struggles in our house with trying to re-arrange schedules and paying the bills that he decided he needed to be hurt too. So, almost a month ago, he (also while playing volleyball) broke his foot in 3 places and dislocated his foot. So, not only am I on crutches, but he is too. Our house literally came to a SCREECHING halt!!! So,, Chad and I have literally been laid up for the past several weeks. I had surgery last Tuesday and Chad has been off of work since he hurt himself. I took 6 days off and I am now back at work.

Since I have heard from several friends that I haven't updated my bog lately, I thought I should at least put something up. There isn't too much going on with us, needless to say, but we are doing well considering. My surgery was on the 17th. We thought I was just going in for repair of my ACL but it turns out that once they got in my knee, they saw that I also tore my meniscus on both sides of my knee. So, instead of me being off of walking for 2 weeks, it is now 4 weeks of no weight bearing on my right leg as well as not being able to bend my knee past 90 degrees for 4 weeks. I have physical therapy 3 times a week and I have a motion machine that I put my leg in to and have to do for 8 hours a day. It is a machine that constantly moves my leg and bends my knee to the degree that we set it at. Since I am already back at work, I typically have to go to sleep with my knee in the machine.

Our computer is not in the living room, so needless to say, when I get home, I am exhausted and crash where I fall. I am sorry we have been so out of touch, but there isn't really much going on with us at the moment anyway. We have WONDERFUL friends and family that have brought us meals, cleaned our house, watched our dog, driven us places, and come to visit us just to keep us sane. We truly appreciate all of you that have supported us and prayed for us through this unbelievable situation. I keep telling myself that we will laugh about this some day. I hope all of you will be there to laugh with us. We couldn't imagine our lives without all of you.
