Greetings! It has been awhile since
I have updated this, but I come with good news. It has been 2.5 months since I
had surgery on my right foot and a little over five months since I had the
first surgery on my left foot. To say that things are going well would be an
understatement. I am walking around without orthotics in my shoes (which
doctors told me would never happen) and I have no pain in my feet (which is
foreign to me) but I can definitely get used to this. A couple weeks ago I was
able to walk into a shoe store and buy shoes without needing to put my insoles
in them first, something I hadn’t done in more than ten years. God is good. For
real. Make no mistake, the journey has not been a piece of cake, but if I had
to go through it again I would not hesitate. Although I have no pain in my
feet, I am still getting used to walking now that I am using muscles in my
legs/feet that I didn’t use before when my feet were misaligned.
I do have lingering knee
discomfort, when I walk my knee pops, but I should note that it is only when I
wear dress shoes for work. I think I need to buy some new shoes, but as a
precaution, I scheduled a session for physical therapy this week. I am not sure
I need it but I think it would be helpful to go through strengthening exercises
for my knees and the rest of my lower body. I will do a better job of updating
this (at least once a month) because although I have made a lot of improvement,
I know that I still have a ways to go before I am running/jumping. I am not
quite where I want to be but thank God I’m not where I used to be. I am so grateful.
Verse of the day: “But thanks be to God! He gives us victory through
our Lord Jesus Christ.”
1 Corinthians 15:57
