Happy Valentine♥s Day…

Hey All,

Yesterday was interesting. I got through the first day of calls. Yippie. All I need to remember is that I just have to make it to the end of June at the most.

I changed my ultrasound appointment because it was for 2pm on a Wednesday, which most likely won’t work because I will have to be working because I’m fairly certain that my shift will be staying at 3:30 – midnight. So, now my appointment is Monday, March 11th at 10:30am. Better chance at that point of finding out the sex of the baby anyway!

So… today was a bad day for my Sunshine. She got pushed down a hill (snow turned to ice) by a classmate, and she ended up spraining her ankle really badly. That was at their first "nutrition break" – so Pookie went to see how bad "bad" was, and she couldn’t walk on it, so my mom went to pick her up & drive her home. My mom had to bring her roommate to an appointment, so after Pookie came back from getting Gizmo from school, my mom & I took Sunshine to the walk-in clinic to get checked out. We waited forever, it seemed. Luckily there was an x-ray clinic in the same building, and the walk-in clinic lent us a wheelchair so Sunshine didn’t have to hobble around. After we saw the walk-in doctor, he ordered the x-rays, and after the x-rays he informed us that it didn’t look like a fracture, so it’s probably just a really bad sprain. The radiologist will be taking a look at the x-rays tomorrow because children’s bones have plates or something to help them grow, and that can mask a fracture, so if there’s any change in the diagnosis by the radiologist, then we’ll get a phone call. Anyhew, we got her an ankle brace ($41!! wow shit is expensive!), and she has to stay off it for at least 24 hours, elevated & ice it 3 or 4 times a day. There’s little to no swelling, so it definitely isn’t broken… but because she couldn’t put any weight on it, it *might* be a fracture. I’m hoping that we don’t get a phone call tomorrow, and that it really is just a bad sprain.

I ended up getting Skyfall 007 for Pookie & me for Valentine’s – his Formula 51 movie hasn’t come in the mail yet. Formula 51 with Samuel L Jackson has been a movie he’s been searching for forever. I’m glad my mom was able to order it off of Amazon.ca so I have to pay her back for that and the brace tomorrow when I get paid.

My mom ended up getting a bunch clothes & some candies for the kids for Valentine’s. It’s been a bit of a surreal day.

So, how was your Valentine’s day? I hope it was full of L♥VE!!!
