Left foot & sewing!

Well, yesterday I went and saw Dr. A for my left foot results from MRI. For the last two weeks I've been in a big black boot and things just seem to be staying stagnant. The MRI shows that I have "extreme stress reaction on meterarsal number three" meaning I have a horrible stress fracture, dr a said would almost be better if it was just a regular break. Ugh. So, because the location is so strange right in middle of foot that it need to be stabilized, protect it and I need to be off it as much as possible. He said we are looking at a two month minimum recovery. Ugh. It turns out a cast is the better option for a few weeks Sooo I was put in short leg walking cast and will go back in three weeks. I wanted purple but they were out so i went blue. Then "Big M" Dr.As nurse practitioner wanted to add more material to the cast so we two toned and did orange, after all it is football season soooo LETS GO BEARS! Sandra came over and made my toes look all pretty too.The other thing the MRI showed was the damage that has been done to certain bones in my foot, it's not as bad as we originally thought which is nice. (I put a picture of a foot to show you) I will see Dr A right before thanksgiving.

Today, I went to my friend Debbie's house. I love Debbie she is such a good person and full of so much love and compassion. She is a great seamstress and had offered to teach me to sew! Today was lesson number one! She showed me the machine and we did basics, sewing a straight line, sewing on a curve, back stitching, top stitching, turning things inside out and how I iron things. I ended up making a headband! Now, we were just using scrap fabric and used what was around which today we used duck cloth and it was nice and stiff and "flowed" easily among the machine which was nice. It was a great first lesson and I can't wait for more! Debbie then made a wonderful lunch for us and then she sewed my jeans because they waist bands got too big and needed to be taken in. I'm looking forward to sewing lesson and lunch next week!
