Mathematical PROOF that housecleaning is bad for your health

Yup folks. It's true. I just proved it myself, and I majored in this stuff and taught proofs for four years. I should know.

Here's the story. On Saturday morning I was carrying the vacuum down the stairs and somehow tripped. The toes of my right foot bent underneath my foot as they bumped down over 4 or 5 steps. It made quite the commotion because the vacuum came apart and multiple pieces of it were also crashing down the stairs. I started yelling for Eric, who was still in bed (Saturday is his day to sleep in, Sunday is mine). I heard all sorts of crashing as he came running to my rescue, poor guy probably thought I was dead. I started yelling, "I'm okay, I'm okay!" so hopefully he wouldn't hurt himself while trying to get to me.

It started to swell immediately and it took a long time for the pain to subside. But once it did, as long as I had my foot up it felt alright. Eric took me to the doctor on Monday (it's my right foot, so I couldn't drive myself). They took x-rays and thankfully found that nothing was broken. I guess it's just a really bad bruise. I have my MIL's walking boot, leftover from the foot surgery she had this summer, which has been a lifesaver. When I do have to walk somewhere the boot allows me to do it. The doctor gave me a lovely shoe, I'll take a picture later, that I am supposed to wear as soon as I don't need the boot. He said it will probably be about a week. Once I'm in the shoe I should hopefully be able to drive. For now I'm just supposed to keep my foot up as much as possible, which isn't too hard to do since it hurts when it's not up.

Kaylin is NOT happy about this.

That was her this morning. Poor thing.

THANK YOU to my wonderful friends Kristina and Krista who are bringing me dinner, coming over to play with Kaylin, and driving me to play group. And thank you to my in-laws who have fed us and entertained Kaylin. I appreciate you guys so much more than you know. I feel so blessed to have you guys in my life! Here's to hoping I'll be able to drive and walk normally again soon!!!!
