1 week later

Remember how I told you guys I had surgery on my leg last week?

Well, I may have stretched the truth on that a bit.  You see, I didn't want you all to be jealous of my arduous travel schedule.  Last week I was actually in Australia doing a bit of surfing.  The leg incident was caused by a shark bite.  Here's what the scene look like:

I mean, OBVIOUSLY this photo is a bit fabricated.  The surfer shown is a man and I'm a woman.  But other than that it's a pretty accurate portrayal of what everyone saw from the shore.

I'd say I got off pretty lucky, and here's what the leg looks like 1 week after that fateful day.

Let's get a close-up so you can clearly see that those puncture wounds are in the perfect shape of a shark's jaw...

I'd like to thank my mom for my swift ninja skills that enabled me to escape the shark.  I'd like to thank my husband for removing the steri-strips today without re-opening any wounds.  And last but not least, I'd like to thank my middle son Phinean, for giving me an imagination bigger than the sky.

Because obviously it wasn't really a shark attack.  I didn't even go to Australia you guys.  It was surgery.  Boring but true.
