All is Good .....

Post #392 ....

Quick blog update ..... overall I am doing fine with the foot and no major new developments. I am already tired of moving the "lift" insert from one shoe to the next each day, but I am doing it. It does help the hip some or at least makes the leg length situation a little less. I am still walking quite a bit at work, so I've been pretty tired lately by the evenings. I should be returning to the gym for overall health, but I've felt like I've been doing so much walking at work that I didn't want to overdo it. Next week will be the one year post-op mark from the last surgery in Dallas (tendon lengthening 2nd try).

It has been very nice to not have to keep track of scheduling for medical or pt appointments. I think February was the first month in several years that I went 4 weeks with no appointments - that is a milestone for sure. I have a bunion on my left foot (good foot) that has been there since way before I started any of this foot ordeal and in the last few weeks it has really been aggravating ..... I'm doing all the normal stuff for comfort, but some point it is going to need some attention. I may go to Chicago at some point this spring and might have my orthopod there look at it .... I'm sure she will say, "We're not doing anything with it!" I'm taking the wait and see what happens approach for now & am trying to ignore the pain.

I am traveling back to Memphis tomorrow for JA and will be there through the end of the week. Hopefully it will be a bit warmer down South! The JA office in TN always gives me a rough time that I cannot drink the sweet tea that everyone loves in the south. I love ice tea, but the sweet tea is too sweet ... they laugh when I ask for unsweetened and am told it is all sweet.

I will replace the snowflake border and remove the falling snow on this blog page this weekend .... ready for something that screams SPRING!

Thanks for checking in .... happy to report that all is good. Better get some zzzzz's .... long day of travel tomorrow.
