Well over the past few hours my life has truly changed in the blink of an eye.
Graduation is over and I'm officially a Penn State graduate. I didn't get my alumni sweatshirt yet but I can barely believe its time for that.
I have a job! I will be working in the Emergency Department of Pinnacle Community General! I am absolutely tickled to be working here because the department has a wonderful training program and its the hospital Matt is at most often for work. I start June 6th and its hard to believe I have a big-girl job now.
Matt broke his foot. BOO. We had a bonfire at our place last night to celebrate graduation. Well Matthew and Jeremy (my brother) were wrestling for fun and the story goes, they both landed on Matt's left foot. He has what they call a Lisfranc fracture, which is a dislocation and fracture of the metatarsal joint in the foot. For poor Matthew it was all 5 metatarsal joints. (x-ray picture to come) He went into the ER last night and had the dislocation reduced but he will need surgery to get a stabilizing pin sometime within the next week. This most likely means he will be out of work and possibly school for a few months because of the recovery time.
Please pray for us. If you know Matt, you know it will be very difficult for him to take it easy and keep his foot elevated etc. He isn't one to sit around at all and he's likely to go insane if he doesn't have some type of project to do. Thankfully this week we had both already taken vacation and he is able to rest up now and worry about things later.
Thank you Jesus that I have the nursing knowledge and loving heart to care for my bum-foot husband :)
