For the past ten days I have been laid up and not able to get out and about. Today is the first day that I've been able to get out. On Saturday, June 12th I fell off of our back steps and gashed up my left leg on the shin. I ended up in the ER and had to get eight staples put in. It was not a fun experience to say the least, but thank the Lord that it wasn't anything worse. So it has been a bit of a rough week. I haven't been able to walk much without the help of Tim, the kids or a crutch. So I've had a lot of attention for the past ten days. I am very thankful for Tim being there to help me through this and the kids also. They have been so good to help around the house. They have had to cook, do the dishes, do the laundry and clean the house. Alexis said that I needed to get better and get back to doing some work. She was tired of doing work. Also the ladies in our church have brought us in some meals and that helped Tim and the kids a lot. Yesterday afternoon I had to go and get my staples out. Alexis went with Tim and I ( she wanted to take the staples out, but the DR said no). I have to admit, getting those things out was very rough. One of the them didn't want to come out and I was crying and about to break Tim's hand from squeezing it so hard!! So today Tyler drove us to the library and we are on the computer. I still have a lot of healing to do on my leg because when the took the staples out it wasn't all the way healed shut and may split back open. So I have to be careful with that. And it is still a bit hard to get around, but at least I'm out of the house for a bit.
Tim made me this crutch because I was having a hard time getting around. It really came in handy. He is so thoughtful to do things like that for me.

I was hoping to see a picture of your leg.
I would say that eating a few tomatoes might help. As a last resort you might try putting a few cucumbers on it. Watching Veggie Tales won't help.
