Down I say, Down!!

I have been needing some new capri pants since the weather is getting hotter down here in the South.  I don't want to spend a lot of money on them because hopefully I won't be in them for long, so I had my chauffeur (aka Dad) take me to Walmart to see what they had.  Before ya'll think I am spoiled or had my license revoked remember I can't drive because my cast is on my right foot!!  Anyway......I found a pair of cute jean capris in a size smaller than what I am wearing now and decided to try them on.  That was a bit of a fiasco! 

I wheeled up to the fitting rooms and Earline the Walmart worker decides to "help" me in the handicap room.  I tell her that I was ok to just leave the wheelchair outside and hop into a regular room.  Earline did not take to kindly to that.  She came behind me, commandeered command of the wheelchair and started to push me into the dressing room.  I tried to stop her, but that 98 lb grandma was stronger than she looked.  I knew that we were not going to make it and before I could get the words out she had rammed my cast covered foot into the wall.  It didn't hurt, but I really was ready for Earline to give up control of the chair.  Earline had a different idea.  She kept trying to get that stupid wheelchair in the room.  Finally I put the brakes on and stood up.  She kind of looked at me like it was a miracle.  I told her I just had surgery on the one foot and the other one worked just fine.  I hopped my big butt in a room and tried on the capris. And you know what?!  They fit!!!  I am so excited!!

I can tell I am losing weight and my jeans that I am currently wearing now are really big.  In fact my husband told me the other day that crack kills.  I didn't get it at the time until I stood up and realized my jeans were half way down my butt.  Thank goodness it was just him who saw!!  I want to weigh myself so bad but am afraid to jump on my scale.  I don't know how much my cast weighs and honestly I am not the most coordinated person.  I am afraid I will get up there on one leg and fall over.  Funny image but not something I want to try!! 

I am trying to have a better attitude everyday that comes at me.  Thank you to everyone for the encouragement and kind words.

  3. Great news! You poor dear, I had to be in a wheel chair once for 6 weeks, it was horrible. It is so hard to get around places that are
    handi-cap accessible. I hope you heal soon.
