Ugh! What a time I have been having over the summer. :scared0015:

As if workin, housekeeping, and caring for my father and grandfather were not enough... I wound up with a torn tendon in my right foot back in the spring. :sick0010:

I was placed in a boot on May 20th (the day before my birthday), and was in that, and non-weight bearing for three fulll months. For the last month, I was placed in an ankle brace and was allowed to go down to one crutch. As of last Tuesday, I am off crutches and I started physical therapy this week. Only a few days off crutches, and the foot and ankle are already starting to bother me. I'm trying to be careful with it, and keep it iced down in the evenings. Right now, I am soooo discouraged, but I am hoping the PT will help. :confused0024:

I will keep you updated, and I want to get back on the boards... I miss everyone. :ashamed0003:

:hugs:

We miss you too!

You really have your plate full. I hope you have some help. Be sure to take care of yourself through the midst of it all. Pamper, rest, time for yourself.

Thoughts and prayers.

It's been way too long. You are missed and much needed here. You have a wealth of info and experience. Hopefully we will see your "hugs" more often.
