Broken foot = no computer

Sorry I haven't been on here for a while I broke my foot in May 2008 and have been layed up. Sitting at the computer just wasn't possible until now. Hopefully tomorrow I get the cast off and I will start physical therapy.
I broke two bones in my right foot, dislocated & rotated a third bone, not to mention snapping several tendons including the main one if the arch of my foot.
OK, update of the family stuff.
Zayben wasn't ready to potty train so we stopped pushing until he is ready. Since he had another surgery on his throat and had his tonsils out in April it was just as well we stopped for a while. Then I broke my foot so wasn't able to get up and help him with using the potty. He is now starting to show signs of wanting to go. We went a head and let my nephew Kevin use the Potty Monkey and he is now in big boy pants and doing pretty good. Zayben will use the potty chair when Kevin is here. Kevin and Zayben are only a few weeks apart in age.
My daughter Dezmon graduated from high school in June and turned 18. YEAH no more dealing with my ex-husband. Sorry but when you have to deal with visitation paperwork just to plan your holidays every holiday and it seems like taking turns just to see your child's school actives or games, you know it was not a nice divorce.
Dan-O 16 has been working as much as he can this summer to save money for football, plane tickets for DAB (deaf academic bowl) and plane tickets for basketball competitions to be held in Calf. this year. He will be class pres. again next year and will still be going to WSD (Washington School for the Deaf).
DevĂ´n is 6 and still as hyper as ever and bouncing off the walls as usual. We have stopped giving him the ADHD meds. during the summer and working at helping him learn to control his actions without meds. He is doing better but still has tantrums when things don't go his way but that's pretty common with kids even is they aren't ADHD. He loves playing in the kid pool in the yard and playing video games.
Well my foot is throbbing and I have been at the comp long enough I'll check back in again soon. Have a great summer and thanks for checking up on what's new in our lives.
