Boot Fiasco ....

New pics of the foot .... the incision is starting to blend in with my normal skin color and is the best it has looked in a long time. I am at the "8 month mark" with the artery transplant surgery.

It has been a good weekend filled with lots of walking and exercise. Mom spent the night at my house on Friday night and we had "Girls Night," which was fun! Saturday night I walked around Chesterfield Mall and back to the car without any pain - yippee!

I went into a shoe store at the mall and tried on a pair of dress boots. I put both pairs on, zipped them up, and walked around a little bit. I always thought I would buy a pair at the end of this ordeal. Well, they fit fairly snug and I decided that I still needed to keep wearing something super comfy as opposed to trendy quite yet. As I was taking them off, the zipper on the boot on the operative foot got stuck and the boot would not come off for anything! The sales lady wanted me to just try to slip my foot out. I said, "You don't understand, it is impossible for me to slip the boot off as my foot has had mega surgery and now have very little foot flexibility." She probably thought I was crazy for trying them on, but it was a zipper problem!! After twenty minutes of pulling, praying, and prying, we got the boot off my foot ..... it will be a while before I try on boots again. I seriously thought I was going to have to buy the boots and take it home and cut it off - whew!

Physical therapy on Wednesday and Friday of this week ... beginning next week, I have 125 kids every day at work in February. I see lots of days wearing my good tennis shoes.

Hope you have a great week & stay warm,
Jenny
