Foot

I went to the doctor on Friday and was told that I could officially remove the "boot" and walk with shoes on again. He does want me to get a new pair of orthotics for my feet so I have that scheduled in a few weeks. I have walked around thee apartment all day today in barefeet and I am in shock/ and stunned with the fact I haved no pain! I barely remember a time when I have had no pain in this foot.

When the doctor did the surgery he said " I can't promise I will get rid of all your pain but I will promise to get rid of most of your pain" So I don't know if as time goes on and /or I walk on it more if some of the pain will come back but just having the ability to sit in a chair at work or a home and not have the foot ache is jsut amazing to me. Even if some pain does return, I am so happy I did have the surgery.

The surgery wasn't without it's issues though as it did cause some more damage to the foot in the fact I have lost some movement in the foot and have lost the since of feeling (nerve damage) in even more of the foot. However, again to be without that pain I have no regrets.

That is all from Sioux Falls - to all you mothers out there (especially mine) have a great day tomrorow.

Love ya all,
