Good Friends
Throughout my life I have been blessed with some awesome roommates and close friends. I was reflecting on this as I was travelling on the greyhound on the weekend going to visit a good friend and her family for the weekend. Everyone that I've been blessed to have in my life has touched my life and helped me grow in some way and for that I'm grateful. I have had some fun time with you girls. Here are some pictures of some of the awesome women I know. Love you all!

Cast Pictures
Here are some pictures of my actual cast. Only FIVE MORE DAYS until it comes off hopefully for good

Cast
So I have had the full cast on for about a week and a half now and I'm getting used to it sadly. Its amazing what I can do one handed like typing and I'm starting to get fast at it too. I will never again take for granted the fact that I have two arms. I'm still finding it pretty difficult to do a lot of things like opening a can (can't do this at all), showering, washing dishes, cleaning.....hmm everything. I'm counting the days until it comes off hopefully for good! Although it is a good way to get out of chores!!!!
Grattitude
So there are a lot of things that I am very grateful for right now. I thought I would make a little list on here since this is kind of like a journal:
- My membership in the church
- Family
- Wonderful good friends who help when needed and always listen
- Milk - I know this one's funny but I hadn't had milk for a week and a half and its sooo nice to have a jug in the house, thats allI've been drinking the last couple of days
-A house to live in and awesome roommates
-a job even if I complain about it
-to live in Canada and have rights and freedoms
-the temple - I wish that I could go more often I can't wait until the one in Calgary is built
This just a little list there's too many things to list.
and whats a post without a picture or two?

Follow Up
Well I went for my bone scan on the 19th of February. It wasn't has scary an experience as I though it would be. I got to the clinic and the took the half cast off and injected me with a radioactive dye - no I did not glow green or anything! They then had me rest my hands on a table wich had a camera underneath and took some pictures to see how the blood flows in my body. I had 2 1/2 hours to kill so I sat in a little cafe and had breakfast and read a book (The Vampire Diaries) I went back to the clinic at the scheduled time and they took me to a dfferent room and again I put my hands on this table thing and the tech had me putting my hands in different positions one word for that - OUCH!! It isn't fun at all to have to hold your sore wrist in one position for three minutes. It was neat to see my bones on the screen though. The tech said that I wouldn't get the results until the 24th at least (in otherwards today)
Friday the 20th I got home from work and there was a message on my phone that I needed to go call the clinic. I called and the unit clerk said that I needed to book a follow up appointment I asked if they had the results of my bone scan and she said yes and that they are booking follow ups 2 weeks away and that I should just come in and wait to see a dr. Needless to say Friday night I did not sleep well at all cause I was so worried since they called so quickly saying they had the results.
Saturday the 21st my wonderful roommate Lacy dropped me off at the clinic and I waited a couple of hours to get in. The nurse camdue and got me and took off the half cast and did the usual poking and prodding and it hurt. She then proceeds to say oh so your here for another xray and I say no I'm here to get the results of my bone scan, she looks in my chart and says we don't have any results here. I was not impressed thinking i've just wasted my saturday morning doing this. Well they did find the results and it turns out that the wrist is definitly broken but not where they thought 'cause the stupid drs were xraying the wrong part of my wrist. So finally after THREE WEEKS I have a positive answer and a real cast on my arm. I go back again in three weeks. So far things look great the swelling in my fingers has gone down a lot.

2 What I create will be just for you.
3 It will be done sometime this year.
4 You have no clue what it will be... it may be a story; it may be poetry or an article on properly cleaning your face before a masque. I may draw or paint something; I may bake something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure.
5 I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.
