Journal entry by Kelly Thompson —
Happy Thanksgiving & Merry Christmas to all!
I realized I haven’t posted since July 28! That’s not good! I’m writing a small update and sending pictures.
I did have the foot shaving surgery for the bones on the bottom of my foot. It went alright, non weight bearing for 3 weeks but I adapted getting back into my shoes and brace by working hard for 4 weeks.
The June surgery has still left me with a decent amount of pain in my right leg when I’m walking and exercising. The surgeon says it’s still healing!
I’ve mainly been using just one cane while getting around, and in the house sometimes without a cane! If I go into a store I use an electric cart. I usually use one of those because I don’t want to get tuckered out or create more pain than I’d need to.
I have been driving some. I bring the girls to school and pick up! This has given me such an independent feeling and purpose! I don’t drive to extra places just to drive.
I’m very thankful for what I’m blessed with. I have such a wonderful family along with friends! We have Health and happiness! I can walk with still more room for improvement!
May your holidays be rich of love and health!
