<\/div>\n
Sorry…!<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Happy Thursday!\u00a0 <\/span>I hope this finds everyone happy and healthy.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Well, it\u2019s been 1 week since I\u2019ve been able to put full weight on my foot and who\u2019da thunk walking would hurt so much?\u00a0 <\/span>I guess I did somewhere in the back of my little brain.\u00a0 <\/span>I\u2019m still using the scooter & crutches a bit, especially in the morning.\u00a0 <\/span>But I\u2019ve really progressed to mostly walking without a cane or crutch.\u00a0 <\/span>Mainly because I can\u2019t find a cane with a sword in it that I like.\u00a0 <\/span>But I\u2019m still looking!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I finally got a pair of shoes that give me enough lift so I\u2019m not hurting my left knee and right hip.\u00a0 <\/span>I really felt like an overdressed extra from a bad Mummy or Zombie movie.\u00a0 <\/span>I wanted to moan and make mummy\/zombie noises while I was shuffling about.\u00a0 <\/span>But now I\u2019m more like a Weeble.\u00a0 <\/span>I\u2019m not going anywhere fast right now, but at least I am going forward (mostly).\u00a0 <\/span>This HAS been quite an adventure.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We\u2019ve scheduled my pin pull surgery for next Friday 5\/13. I won\u2019t know what time until between 1 and 3 on Thursday.\u00a0 <\/span>Pray with me that it\u2019s not too early (mornings \u2026 blech!) or too late (I have to fast, no nothing including water).\u00a0 <\/span>Dr. Very Handsome said it would take him about 10-15 minutes to remove the pin and sew me back up.\u00a0 <\/span>Hey… we have a set of DeWalts…\u00a0I guess we should let the surgeon do the\u00a0surgeony stuff.\u00a0 Then it\u2019s 2 more weeks of the boot and then\u2026?\u00a0 <\/span>I guess we will find out on the follow up appointment that will pull the staples and X-ray (yet again) the ankle.\u00a0 <\/span>Who knows if I will ever make it to Physical Therapy.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So until \u2026 when? Probably the 19th<\/sup> I won\u2019t have much to update, unless there is something super exciting happening.\u00a0 <\/span>Calm and peaceful is good right now.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Have a WONDERFUL rest of the week!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Big HUGS!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
