All is Good ....

Greetings! I am doing well and am doing everyday life things. All is still well with the foot. This week I dried the foot too hard with a towel and it started bleeding in two places, but I got it under control. I sent an e-mail yesterday to my Chicago orthopod and told her that all is well, except the bunion on the opposite foot. I would guess that she will write back over the weekend. We had kids everyday this week at JA, so by Thurs/Friday I resorted to wearing tennis shoes for comfort. I still have to be pretty careful with wearing shoes and thinking about how much standing/walking I'll be doing each day.

More & more people are noticing the hip limp now, so clearly it is becoming more obvious. Most assume that the limp is due to the foot, but it is not. I am on vacation beginning next Wednesday or almost a week, so I'm looking forward to heading south with warmer temps. This is the first time in six years that I've had days to use for something other than medical needs .... I even had to go to our HR person and ask how to submit a vacation day form, because I've never done it in all my time at JA ... it is a good problem to have now.

It was great to see the sunshine this week in STL!

Happy weekend to you!
