My road to recovery

Well, Monday was the 3 week mark since my surgery. I am so glad I chose to go ahead and get both feet done at the same time. God has been very good to me - my feet have been uncomfortable at times during the recovery process, but I haven't experienced any real pain! The doctor says they look good (I think they look a little nasty myself, but I know he's not talking about the superficial) and even gave me permission to practice driving around my neighborhood. I still haven't tried yet!

I am pretty tired of the house and couch by now, but I have learned that getting out for more than dinner or a trip to the doctor's office is still not that easy. I had an inservice for school that I was signed up for and I was exhausted by the time I got home! I am getting around the house well, though, and have even been able to cook dinner a few times and bake cookies once. It feels good to be able to help out again. I hope that I will get the green light to wear regular shoes and do more after I see the doctor again on Tuesday.

I am very blessed to have so many people that were (and still are) willing to help me with all the things I couldn't do for myself! Thank you so much - I am truly grateful for all your love and support!
