What I have learned on being on crutches
I have been trying to heal these past few weeks. I'm definitely not an ice skater. So I fell and fracture my ankle on Feb 4th. Picture below is my cast. This is the first time I have been on crutches and needless to say it isn't fun. Now I understand how people feel. This is a learning lesson for me. What have a learned so far.
1. Lots of patience. I think this is a life lesson for me, what is that patience
2. Upper body strength I'm definitely developing that. Especially going up stair backwards in my house on my butt. The triceps are getting a very nice work out besides other parts of me.
3. Can't talk on phone using crutches- this just doesn't work need the hands free thingy
4. House work-Yeah! I love this I don't have to do it!! But I have no elves either (okay my husband is trying to do this)
5. Microwave-of course it had to stop working while I'm on crutches then have to use the "oven" what is that? My husband has been so wonderful cooking. Thanks to him!!
6. I really love this one-Electric Start this is so nice to have your car get started before you get in. I really appreciate I have this. High on my recommendation list! Works great for being on crutches.
7. Strangers- They do care because will open and hold the door for you!! People can be nice
8. Chair on wheels this is great if you have a chair at home that has wheels (and I'm not talking about a wheelchair)you can roll around if you have wooden floors. Help save on crutch-in it
9. Books, movies, magazines-I'm enjoying this one also. Plenty of time to catch up on my movies and reading.
10. Steps-I have not mastered using crutches going up them, but much better going down them
Hopefully you have enjoyed this. Need to have the dummies for using crutches. I needed that book. Maybe You tube has something I need to go check it out.

Colonoscopy
Today my husband is going to have this surgery in an hour. We are new to the experience. I decided to see what was on the internet and thought this was funny to find this book. I guess we should read this because now after drinking the liquid this morning he almost passed out. I hope I can have him make it to the hospital before he tries to do this again. He was doing fine drinking all liquids last night. Hopefully all goes well. I do highly believe everyone should have this at least once. I know someone who went in for a regular check up and ended up finding cancer in the colon and had to have quite a few feet removed. So please don't put this off after you turn 50. I'm actually impressed with my husband because he just turned 50 last month and is doing his today. Quite impressive for me that he is doing it quickly.

Island Spice Pork Tenderloin
I made this last week from Annie's Eats Blog. This was so good my family enjoyed it. My husband thought the house smelled like I was baking cinnamon rolls. Once I served the dish he thought I was becoming quite the cook. I have really enjoyed this blog and made several things from it. So now I want to share. Here is my picture of the pork tenderloin. But when you see hers on the site she takes better pictures. Island Spice Pork Tenderloin was so sweet and spicy at the same time. I enjoyed every bite of it and so moist. I also Highly recommend the Salmon with Strawberry Salsa. The ingredients doesn't sound like it would go good together, but let me tell you it was wonderful!
