Progress on my foot....

I started a blog to record the progress of my foot. If anyone is interested here is the link.

ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!

I loved this email - it's how we feel in MARCH!

It's all relative

This was the middle of the storm on March 8th.

My momma in Florida will be ever so thankful she's not here....cause she had to put on a sweater

My sista in DC will think it's cold in her neck of the woods too....cause she had to put on a coat.

My Aunts up north or in NFLD will say "that's nothing, you should see it here!"

So, you see, it's all relative. Really.

Hope everyone stays cozy no matter where you are.

Thelma & Louise Weekend

Well, Cindy and I are driving down to see Shelley and the gang on Thursday and will be returning on Monday. We have been calling it our "Thelma & Louise Weekend". Well I guess I haven't seen the movie after all. Apparently they drive their sports car off a cliff in the end. We will be taking my sports car but hopefully the tides of my luck have turned and we won't be encountering any cliffs. Um, second thought...please pray for us.

Hi, aren't I cute?

Hi. I don't have a name yet. I think my Mom (Cindy) is seriously considering calling me "Sadie".

I arrived at my Aunt Kimmie's house on Saturday. My mommy brought me home to these two horrible cousins of mine. I know they wish I would just go away but I am here to stay. Hopefully they won't eat (or worse) before my Mommy and I go to stay in our own house in a couple of weeks.

Getting ready to dance!

Hummmm. A girl can dream! I'll just have to be happy dancing in my running shoes for the time being. At least I don't have to wear that horrible boot.

Physio SUPA STAR

14 weeks post accident/ 11 1/2 weeks post surgery

Seems I am a super star! Michelle told me so. She's my new physio therapist. A lisfranc injury is very uncommon so when I spoke with Michelle on the phone I asked her to do some research before we met. She said that she knew she had heard of a lisfranc injury and remembered as something bad. When we met she said I have quite a bad injury. She proceeded to check my foot for flex and (whatever the opposite of flex is LOL). She looked at me like I was pulling her leg. Flex up is the same in both feet and flex down is close. There are some muscles in my foot that need to be strengthened but she was amazed at how much mobility I had. She said she fully expected me to come in with absolutely no movement in my foot. I explained to her that I was very stubborn and had been moving and exercising my foot often. She said I had probably done 90% of the physio I needed all by myself! She doubts I will need a month's worth of physio. I ROCK!!!! Plus, I am a very good healer. Go figure. She will do what she has to then give me direction when I can get back to the gym. As usual, I am thrilled with the progress. PS - had an appointment with Allison the Occupational Therapist and she is also blown away by my progress. She knows of another woman with lisfranc injury (last year) who has resumed running and is wearing heals and doing perfectly well. Allison said that she wasn't doing as well as me at my stage now. Ya baby!!
