sorry i haven't been around, this recovery has not been easy. i can't wear a shoe with this darn ankle brace. the doctor told me monday that i don't have to wear the boot unless i am going out and walking a long distance. so, since i can't wear a shoe i have to sit with my foot up most of the time. i can only walk on it on a limited basis. it's the pits!!!
i'm off the pain pills, thank goodness. they kept me in a stupor that i did not care for but were necessary for awhile.
now, i am getting ready to wing my way to texas on saturday for three weeks with my mom. her internet connection has been really iffy so don't know if or how much i will be able to check in. plus we are going to go away just the two of us for a few days with no internet. i will be home again on the 12th of september and then we are heading down to florida to see my aunt for her 90th birthday after i see the doctor again.
i have been doing a lot of reading though, i guess that's one good thing about all this. lol
ya'll take care and i will check in when i can.
hugs,

Wow, that sounds like a lot of good time spent with your Mom!! Wonderful!! I hope you have no problems with your foot while away. I know you'll be taking it easy..like what choice do you have?! LOL!!


I remember how hard it was when I had my two reconstruction foot surgeries. I was not allowed to even toe step on the floor for a few weeks. Awful getting in and out of bed, the potty, the car, etc. Gosh, I hated that and I was living alone then too. My DD's came over to help out, but most of the time I was alone. Sure those days are behind me! So glad you're able to walk on your's a little bit.


Good you're getting lots of reading done, that's always enjoyable. You take care too and check in as often as you are able. Angels on your bumpers as you travel!


Hugs to you.......

Safe travels, Ellen. Take care of your foot while you're away (I'm sure your Mom will make sure you're well taken care of, lol) and we'll see you when you get back.
