Pregnancy and crutches

I have always wanted crutches . . .maybe I should have changed that thought for when I am old and pregnant. Yesterday, I was walking out the door to crank the car and slipped on the steps and twisted my foot. Thankfully, I did not fall completely down and was able to catch myself. Kale and Keegan quickly jumped into action and pushed a chair where I could sit, then ran and got Jonathan. They were screaming, "Mom's hurt!". Jonathan came running to find me in lots of pain and bawling! He helped get me to the couch where he examined my foot. After deciding I needed to have it checked out, we headed off to Spotsy Hospital. Due to the location of the pain, the doctor thought there could be a fracture in the bone of my foot so he ordered x-rays. Thank goodness, there was no fracture just a sprained foot. The nurse wrapped my foot and sent me home with drugs and crutches. I've never used crutches so this was an interesting experience especially when I have a huge belly in front. I kept my foot propped and iced and before bed was able to walk some without the crutches. I have gone all today walking on my own. However, I was already moving slowly due to the above mentioned belly and now I am moving slower. Hopefully in the next few days, the foot will all be healed and I can move a little faster. And I no longer have the want to use crutches:)
