My recovery

I cannot believe it's been over a month since I have posted on here. Life has just been crazy.  I'm trying to do as much as I can without hurting myself as well as resting as much as I can. I had this same surgery 17 years ago and boy have things changed.  It's true when they say as you get older you take longer to recover.  Granted I didn't have children to take care of then let a lone one with special needs.
This was cast number 2.


This was cast number 3.

I now have a walking boot on but still am not allowed to bear any weight on it. Talk about frustrating but I'm being as patient as I can. My boys have been amazing and really stepping up to help me especially Lil Mark. He is helping me as well as helping me take care of Broc.



My hubby has been amazing. Working extremely long hours and sometimes weekends too he still comes home to cook dinner, help with laundry, help with Brocs nighttime care and take care of me too.

Thank you to all the wonderful friends who have helped with taking us to Drs and therapy appointments,  helped with house cleaning , cooking meals,  taking care of me or the boys. All the many texts , phone calls , visits and cards are truly appreciated.

It's not so much my surgery that is extending my recovery but the other diseases that I deal with on a daily basis. I know that soon I will be back on 2 feet again and I cannot wait, but until then I will be patient.

Thank you again for all the love,support and prayers from around the world.
