I need to finalize packing and make sure I have everything in order for our big day tomorrow. All is still happening as planned and I confirmed each appointment time today, so no surprises should happen there.
On Monday my foot was really swollen and hurting, so the past two days I decided to go back to wearing a normal shoe on the left foot and a Croc on the bad foot. It has been a lot better. I decided there was no point in forcing it into a shoe when it doesn't have movement to bend or function like it should in the shoe.
Emotionally I'm okay and am trying to go into the next two days with an open mind. If none of the options sound reasonable or promising, we don't have to do any of them. Hopefully we will hear some fresh thoughts and perspective on the situation. I was thinking last night back to my very first visit with the doctors that I currently have now. Typically they spend more time with you at that appt. than any other and I think it would be rare for any dr. to tell you they don't have any ideas. Most orthopedic doctors don't want some case to "beat them."
I came home tonight to a nice surprise .... my neighbor had raked all my leaves in my front yard. There were not a lot, but it was for sure something that I wasn't going to get to or worry about tonight. I called him and asked if he was the "leaf fairy" today and he said I had the right neighbor.
My big teacher luncheon went well today and I think 300 kids are going to come to JA.
Better close as I need to head to bed early tonight. Planning to take the laptop, so I'll update the blog. If I don't update on Thursday night it will be because I can't find a wifi connection .... will for sure do it Friday.
Looking forward to seeing God work in a mighty way in the next few days ....
Love & hugs,
je
P.S. Thanks for the blog comments and e-mails .... reading them all!

In prayer today for your myriad of appointments in a city w/ which you are not familiar. I'm sure you map-quested everything and are on-time or early to ALL appointments...you're just LIKE that to be organized and on top of things! Hope all of your ahead-of-time coordination and the compilation of your case by the docs onto CD helped w/ the new opinion-givers. Hope they have one, too! (An opinion, that is). Hugs! A hug for you mom, too. Thanks for your words @ A.E., too. L Joback
Um...hello! Looking (again) to see if you've updated @ your appts today...can we say: a bit ANXIOUS! Just hopeful that there is a light at the end of a 17+ surgery tunnel, as I'm sure YOU do, too. Just wanted you to know I was thinking of you (again). Probably won't check again until tomorrow b/c I don't want you to think I'm stalking you. L
Don't worry Laura! You are not alone on the stalking trail! LOL! There are quite a few of us on the trail with you.
