A finish

I finished the quilting on this using my left foot and I am definitely a right-footed person.  I did wait till I could use my right foot when it came to putting the binding on.

Not the greatest picture, but the best I seemed to be able to do.

I cannot tell you how good it feels to be standing on my own two feet.  I honestly didn't know if I ever would.    It is absolutely wonderful to get up out of my chair and just walk into another room, or stand on my own two feet while I brush my teeth...and not have to balance on one foot.

It is wonderful to be able to walk to the car, get in and drive!!! and just park absolutely anywhere, and not have to worry about being on an end spot where I can get in and out without having to worry about bumping into the car next to me.   There are just so many things that we take for granted.

A blast from the past

I was looking for a video I had watched, and ran across this...I have listened to it so many times today as I worked...some of the words in the first and second verses sure express how I feel.

I am thankful that I am walking and going about life in a normal fashion.  I am pretty much back to normal physically.  Believe it or not, I have never had much pain during all that I went trough.  Uncomfortable, yes.  And shooting pains, but no constant hurting.

I contemplate blogging again, but not sure I have what it takes.  I am just not myself any more.  I seldom get to take any photos...

Things are really looking up...

First of all, I had a couple comments asking how I was doing, but did not see them till this week.  I had every intention of replying either by this post, or by responding on your blog.  I am so sorry I did not get it done till now.  I had heard something about no notifications when we get comments, but had not thought of it in relation to my blog since I had not posted...I just happened to go there and find them.

Anyway, nothing like a little bling...actually they are the only flip-flops I have found that fits.  I am now walking without the boot but with a cane...and every evening there is a spell where I am walking around the house without the cane even.  I have some wonderful therapists that have got me this far.

And look!  The wound is almost entirely healed.  The wound care doctor thinks this coming Tuesday might be my last day to have to go to him.

Just want to post this while I have a minute...I hope all of you are having a good summer.  The heat and humidity here really gets to me.  But still happy to be walking, even if with a cane.
