It has been a rather quiet week, as I'm still dealing with hives and am hoping that the medication starts to work by the end of the week. It is a slow, slow process! I have looked up more "home remedies" on the Internet than you can imagine.
I am doing a 3.5 mile walk on Sunday morning, which is sponsored by my physical therapist's office. I told my therpist last October that I'd do it when things improved health wise .... never dreaming that things would improve or that anyone would remember that I verbally comitted to this. It will be a proud moment for his office staff and myself .... both of us have worked really hard to get to this point with walking and movement. We are taking range-of-motion measurements on Friday (this week), so we'll hopefully see more progress.
I am looking forward to going to Chicago next Friday. It has been August since we were there last and there has been a lot of improvement since then. My orthopod also wants me to visit a special shoe place in Chicago - looks like a good place on the Internet. The hardware spot on the foot continues to be bothersome and painful, so I am thinking of possibly having the hardware removed around Christmas. We will discuss it more next week.
I have speaking events (related to the foot miracle) on October 28th (adult group) and November 4th (kiddos), so you can pray as I prepare for both. It is my desire that the magnitude of what has happened will shine brightly.
Keep praying that the hives disappear sooner rather than later .... and may they never reappear. I have been battling this for five weeks and am ready to feel well again.
