It is a new week and I’m ready to carry on! It has been good to have a longer weekend to get refreshed with energy, stamina, rest, new attitude and I’m hopeful of taking the next step ahead this week.
Toward the end of last week and increasingly over the weekend pain has reoccurred which has not been there for a long time. On Saturday night, I finally resorted to narcotic medication. It helped marginally, but it was enough that I could sleep. Not totally sure where the pain is stemming from, but clearly something is not right.
I’m hopeful that I’ll learn some news from the plastic surgeon this week & will likely make an appt. to see the STL orthopod as well. I suspect that he doesn’t realize what is (or is not) happening w/all of this. After a holiday weekend it will be tough to get anything going on Tuesday, but we’ll see.
Good quote for this week .... "If God sends us on strong paths, we are provided strong shoes." by Corrie TenBoon
Keep praying for wisdom in decision making, timing, pain relief, and a correct/clear diagnosis.

Hi!
When things had been going so well, I slacked off reading your blog. What a shock to see you in the prayer focus again. I'm glad you're re-energized and ready to hit it again this week.

That sounds like something Corrie Ten Boom would have said. She was a wise woman, and I have always liked her writings, too. Jenny, don't forget that the absence of answer from the plastic surgeon may be no fault of HIS ... if he is having a hard time getting thru to the orhopod or the radiologist or who-EVER ... the buck is still stopped and it only LOOKS like him but isn't necessarily him. You've had so many interactions w/ MD's where you've felt less-than-confident about their care / attention to your voluminous history or their willingness to jump in to such a complicated case. Yes, be diligent to press for an answer, but I hate to see you second your choice. Compared to some other bozo's you've seen, especially! Egads! I LOVE the new background to the blog. How was the mint chocolate chip ice cream? We got a banana cream pie (bakery) for the holiday BBQ, my sister made homemade strawberry ice cream and TWO kinds of cookies (one w/ and one w/o nuts ... b/c of Jr. Sr.), so we may not have had mint chocolate chip, but we DID have sugar. PS: I'll bet, though, that Corrie Ten Boom wasn't as worried about shoes looking as fashionable as we would be ... she would have probably been happy to have shoes in GENERAL ... strong but clod-hopper-y would have been OK for her ... we should be so satisfied.

Waiting with bated breath for the next update! Linda
