My foot and ankle reconstruction surgery was successfully completed on Thursday, and I was able to return home yesterday afternoon. I have a plaster cast on my foot for the next two weeks, and am not allowed to do much of anything during this time. On July 20th, I will go back in to have the doctor's remove the plaster cast and the stitches, then they will put me in a regular cast and I will be allowed to move more freely with a wheelchair or crutches. I still will not be allowed to walk on it until sometime in November, but it will be nice to not be confined to the bed.
Thanks to everyone who has kept me in their prayers, and also to everyone who has sent me the kind words of encouragement. I can't wait to be up and moving again (hopefully running!!) I know it seems that I will be gone for a long time, but November will come fast, and then we can forget all about the time I was out!!
