It has been a busy few days at work and there is only one day left with kiddos. Yeah! I was concerned about having enough stamina to make it through, but it looks like I am going to make it! I have off the entire week after Christmas, so this will be time to hopefully move back home, get to "know" my house again and practice taking some beginning steps.
I am down to three days and two hours, before my cast comes off .... Friday at 10:30am. Can you tell I am excited? We will do x-rays and hopefully I will begin with a walking boot. Please continue to pray that everything is still healing properly and we are still "on track." The bones need to be healed thoroughly in order to allow me not to have to continue with the hard cast. My artificial hip has also been painful over the past few days (opposite side of the foot problem), so I am hoping this improves once I can begin to put weight on the foot.
On Sunday afternoon, I tried to ride around in a motorized scooter at the mall and do a little Christmas shopping. It didn't work out, as I had hoped. The motorized cart had a huge basket on the front that was much to large to get in and out of stores. Between things on the floor, clothing racks and people, it wasn't happening for me. Thankfully, I had a great surprise this morning when my partner and administrative assistant both offered to go pick up a few things for me. Both individuals went to two places for me and this helped significantly .... I was thrilled that they helped me in this way!
Many thanks for your continued prayers and cards! I'll write more after the appointment with my surgeon on Friday morning. Patiently waiting to try walking on Friday!

excited with you to see what God has been doing, and what has been DONE, as you go to the doc this Friday! Praying with you...for your faith to be strong in the goodness and loving sovereignty of God...and that His mercy will be revealed again on Friday!
