My Husband's Worst Nightmare

Ever since I met Brett he has been deathly afraid of his achilles tendon tearing. It even became a joke and I would mess around and grab the back of his ankle to freak him out. Then last night he was playing basketball and shot a three (made it) and then turned around to run down the court and heard a pop. He said he thought someone had threw the ball at the back of his leg really hard and then he felt the pain and realized what had happened. So, he is on crutches now and it will take about 4 to 6 weeks to heal. I actually find it somewhat amusing, I laughed when he told me because he use to talk about it all the time. Although, I do feel really bad for him. I told him to think of the positive, he is off duty for kids waking up in the night, or wiping butts in the bathroom, changing diapers, taking out the trash, unloading dishes, taking care of our dog... I have to stop because the outlook of the next month and a half for me is looking pretty grim.

I love it when you blog. You are funny about the outlook of the next month for you, although it is true. Sad about Brett. I'm anxious to hear about his dr. appt.

OK, first of all, you're so funny!. Second of all, poor Brett. What a bummer. I'll pray for a quick recovery.

Thanks for stopping by. Wish we could share a cup of mocha together and just talk. It's hard when everyone decides to move away and start their only family after college. What's up with that? Me and Brett are working on buying our own island and then everyone we know and love could come live there and we would never be apart again. Until then, we will communicate through technology like the rest of the world. If you know Jesus we will all be reunited in heaven anyway and that's way better than the whole island plan because those cost a lot of money and Brett isn't good at saving it. I am always trying to get him to save money and not spend it but he always blows it on frivolous things. (if you know Brett, you know that's a total joke; the man could be in the middle of the desert parched and not spring for a glass of water)
