Hurray! I Can Walk

Sunday, August 31, 2014
I went to the doctor this past Friday and my bone is 90% healed which means I can walk on my heal in my torture chamber of a bootcast. The doctor told my husband to take my crutches away this time so I have to put weight on my heal. This helps the bone continue to heal.
I was terrified and it took all my strength to trust that my bone would not break and put weight on my heal. So far so good. I do have swelling that occurs and I simply elevate my foot for at least an hour. I try not to overdue it. My tendons are so sore from lack of use. I wake up and they are so stiff I have to message them to get my ankle to bend. Its exhausting! 
I will go back to the doctor in about 12 days and then I get to get rid of the bootcast! Yay! So happy.

Healing Continues

Well I am now 4 months into healing from a bunionectomy w/ toe straightening. I would have been healed sooner but I broke a bone before it was finished healing. It has been 29 days since I rebroke the bone and I have been on a bone growth stimulator for 2 weeks. In two days I get to go to the doctor and see how much healing has taken place. I feel like I am never going to walk again! My leg is so withered. My toe does not move. I am so depressed I wish I never did this. Holding your leg up for going on 3 months is no fun. Cant wait till I can walk and sleep without propping my leg in the air. So scared I will break it again :(

Is It Meant To Be?

Romantic relationships are usually easy to manage in the beginning. Two people who really hit it off can spend so much time laughing and doing fun things together because there is no pressure in the beginning. As time goes on and the couple becomes more comfortable a pattern of everyday life can develop and that's when the work begins.
Feeling stuck in a rut? This is very common among couples in long relationships or marriage. This often leaves them asking is this all there is? Is this meant to be?
Communication is important to a healthy relationship. Telling a spouse or mate about something new that you might like to try may do the trick. Couples who aren't afraid to express their needs often get through difficult times quicker. The  important thing to do is not ignore the issue.

Prolonged Sadness

Thursday, August 7, 2014
Well I was almost healed but I tightened my bootcast strap too fast and rebroke one of my bones. I was so sad I cried.  I am very tired of not being able to walk. Maybe another two months...hmmmm.
It is hard not to get depressed. I battle feelng sorry for myself by watching comedies. Helps me to forget for awhile. I love Carol Burnett, Mammas Family, the show All In The Family and also the comedy show Robin Williams Weapons Of Self Destruction. Too funny.
