Holiday Happenings ....

The foot continues to heal and the incision area is remaining closed. Still wearing a tennis shoe or Croc style and am walking as much as possible. I have students on Monday and Wednesday of this week and then am looking forward to a 4-5 week break with no kiddos. Wearing a "normal shoe," is still challenging ... I think this is due to minimal toe movement, but I'm not totally sure.

Overall the hives have been better the past week, since I've been doing the wheat-free diet. It has been challenging because wheat is in the majority of foods, but the hives have been significantly less. I've gotten to know Trader Joes & Whole Foods better than I ever thought possible.

I was thankful that I wasn't on crutches this weekend with the big snow. I shoveled my driveway on Saturday and couldn't remember the last time that I did it myself. I baked, wrapped gifts and had hot cider today. It was a cozy and chilly day in St. Louis today, but fun to be at my house and enjoying small holiday treasures. We are headed to Illinois next week for the Eickhorst family Christmas.

Hope you are enjoying the majesty of the manger ...
Jenny
