Drawing Number Six

Today I am officially half way through the first semester of dental hygiene school!!!

So far it has been much harder than I thought it would, much more exhausting, much more time consuming...but informative, relative, and at times rewarding.

8 1/2 weeks down...19 months to go! :-)

Here is drawing number six; arteries of the head:

Ouch

Monday morning, as the kids and I were going out to the car to go to school, I twisted my ankle on the tire of Ethan's bike. Why he put it right where I walk to the car instead of the space Roby made especially for his bike a mere two feet away??? Who knows. If I hadn't been following so closely behind Natalie (and how she jumped right over it I can only imagine)...I would have been fine. I heard some fantastic sounding popping, and I made a rather loud noise for me, esp for before 7am. Because we were heading to school, I didn't take my shoe off until after 6pm that night to see how it looked. There was a LOT of swelling, bruising on the outside and above my ankle, the top of my foot, and the under side of my foot. I got out of class at one yesterday, so figured I should have it checked out (with the encouragement of Gma Nan and my friend Tammy). I had three x-rays taken, and there are no broken bones! Just a TON of pain and I can't put any weight on it without cringing. (I did get a more sturdy brace yesterday.)

I can't wait until I get to walk around on it all day Friday at the conference we have to go to out of town for school on Friday! :-(
