Saturday was a record for walking the most steps in one day - 14,000 steps! I just had weekend stuff to do and kept going & going. I was feeling it by the end of the day, so I took it a bit lighter on Sunday.
I started going through old foot photos on Saturday and sent a bunch to Wal-Mart for reprints to go into a scrapbook. When I went to pick up the reprints, the guy at Wal-Mart asked me what happened & said that my photos were a bit on the graphic nature .... I apologized, told him it was a long story & said that I'd call ahead next time to give him the "heads up" on what would be coming out the reprint machine. He knew the foot pics belonged to me right way, as soon as I told him my last name.
I had pt today and have it again on Friday of this week. My calf on the operative side has increased by 1/2" in 4 weeks, which means it is getting stronger - larger is a good thing, in this case. I think I'm going to go to Chicago in two weeks to see that surgeon & will get her opinion on how much more pt I need to do .... pt guys will have you work on it forever! I probably need to do more, but how much is the question. Tonight I had a hard time getting in to a dress shoe (for a speaking event tomorrow morning), but I am hoping that was due to swelling at the end of the day. My toes are still moving, although they continue to be plenty stiff. Some days it is hard to remember that although it is not perfect, I need to be happy & thankful with it being live able.
Need to call it a day, as I have an early am meeting tomorrow.
Hugs -

Dress shoe and foot swelling are DEFINATELY not a good combo...even to a perfect-footed type. And your foot who's seen 100 wars (and many MORE skirmishes) needs a little GRACE to meet up w/ a dress shoe, huh? Try a flat or a loafer w/ a kicky buckle...maybe it'd go over just as well and not give you a bunion. Hugs! Thinking of you! L Jo
