Sorry it's been so long!!
Hello!!!
So sorry it's been so long since I've written! The working life is crazy! But here's an update on my bones!
On Dec 10 (Friday!) I'm having foot surgery, I've got a bunion, so they're going to take bone off the side and top of my foot then on my big toe they're going to cut out a wedge (triangle shaped) and put in some pins so my toe is more normal. But because of all of that I've had to stop taking my arthritis medicine! I haven't taken any in 4 weeks!! That on top on cold weather plus I have been putting different pressures on my joints when I walk from my bunion has been a not so pain free few weeks. But it's ok. I can take my medicine again around Christmas. But we're switching from the biweekly injectable (Humira) to a 4-8 weeks IV infusion. Which I'm soooo excited for! And they can adjust the dosage based on your pain! How cool! Hopefully this will work! Oh and for my surgery I'll have a nasty big boot for 6-8 weeks! Which means no driving then!! Terrible. I know. But I'll only be on crutches for about two weeks, until Christmas! So I've decided to decorate my boot and crutches! I've already got mini bows and fun ribbon! I can't wait!
So other than my little surgery I've just been working about 40-45 hours a week with a little girl named Olivia. I've taught her to count 1-5 and half of her ABC's and she's only 19 months! And I've also taught her to say "Merry Christmas" and when you ask her what Santa says she says "Ho Ho Ho!" and then when you ask her what she is going to give Santa she says "Milk and Cooks" (cookies) and then when you ask her what Santa is going to give her she says "presents" Which is all super cute! Her parents are impressed! I think, well at least that's what they tell me!!
Oh last weekend The Arthritis Foundation had its annual Jingle Bell Run for Arthritis! We had sooo much fun!! Team Kelley raised over $1,600!!!! And we're still going!

Well I'm sorry this is short but I have lots to do before I'm reduced to one working foot! I'm sure I'll post lots while I'm recovering!!! Toods kiddo!!
