Dr. Dr.

  This past weekend was a doctor filled good ol' time. MA went on Friday and ended up needing med 4 times a day. DB was already on meds for an ear infection 3 times a day.

Saturday Matt went to run a few errands with DB and I stayed home to keep the pool company & let the girls play. I decided I would sit on the step of the pool and cool off while the girls played. MA needed me to open the gate to let her in. As I was standing up I must have slipped/ lost my balance& the next thing I know I am under water! I quickly hop out (I was plenty cooled off!) and looked down at my foot. My 2nd toe was no longer straight but bent sideways over my middle toe. Thank goodness Matt walked in the door at that exact moment. I calmly (I think) told him I broke my toe and needed to go to the doctor. Our usual doctor office was already closed. Matt went next door and asked the neighbor were we should go. Called, made the next available appointment & I laid on the chair until it was time to go. 45 mins later we loaded 3 kids & snacks up to go to the Dr office. We weren't even sure they would be able to help me but really didn't want to haul everyone to the ER. Finally it was our turn and the Dr uncovers my foot and says "OH!" Just what I wanted to hear.. All the kids are staring at it, fascinated. DB kept asking me if I was ok & if my toe hurt. EL said "toe. pool. mommy." Luckily the Dr. was able to straighten my toe- then it really hurt. Bandaged it up & told me to go get an xray & come back Monday. There isn't much they can do for a toe, so I opted to skip the xray and return visit. I am guessing it was just dislocated. Been hobbling around this week but it is slowly getting better. Matt and the kids took very good care of me. And thanks for Nicole for laughing at me. Glad I could once again provide some entertainment for you!

While Matt was out getting this...

I managed to do this...
