Imagine ....

Imagine …. What it would be like to?
- Not feel like more & more dreams are dying each day.
- Go one month without a medical or therapy appointment.
- Be able to walk around a store without being in pain.
- Walk around the block for exercise.
- Not filter every life event or activity through the “Does it involve
walking” question.
- Feel like I could do my job effectively (marketing, teaching, etc.)
- Sleep through the night without medication.
- Devote all the time that I spend now on medical junk to something worthwhile.
- Wear two dress shoes and be able to dress up.
- Driving correctly with my right foot.

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. – 2 Corinthians 12:9

It has been a quiet weekend filled with emotional ups and downs. Please know that the TX surgeon’s primary focus & concern is not getting toe movement back, as his main job was to get the incision closed (which it looks like was successful). I worked with the foot some on my own this weekend. I’m looking forward to Chicago in two weeks as I have not seen that orthopod since February, so it will be good to reconnect. As long as I don’t hurt the incision, hopefully I’ll get the okay to proceed with exercise and trying to get toe movement to return. Believe it or not, it is really hard to walk without toe movement …. It would be like a hand working with no finger movement. The area that is supposedly not healed doesn’t show up on a digital photo – it is that tiny.

I have to teach six sessions (an hour each) on Wednesday and Thursday of this week at an inner city camp. I’m taking two other staff members with me, but both will be long & tiring days. Hoping for a better week …
