I’m so glad I don’t need feet to write. But, I do need them for other things, and when you hurt something on your body, you sure do appreciate that part so much more! I tore a tendon in my right foot doing my workouts. Thankfully, surgery is not necessary. However, I will be on strong steroids for a week, icing my foot and wearing a boot at night and when at rest which keeps my foot at a 90 degree angle. I also have a ganglion cyst on that same foot, which is painless. The doctor is going to try to treat that with medication also, but it may not work. The only other option for that is surgery, which I only need if I am in pain. So far, the cyst doesn’t hurt, so I will forego that surgery.
Please pray that it will be well soon. In the meantime, this is how I look:
The kids and my sweetie are being so kind and helpful so I can get back to normal soon! I do appreciate your prayers. Maybe I’ll have more time to write now that I’m laid up? Yeah. Probably not. Thanks for reading!


Praying you feel better soon!

One of my friends here did something similar about 3 weeks ago. She's had to wear the same boot & just yesterday was given permission to wear just a splint so she can drive again. It's been quite frustrating for her! Hope you heal quickly!

LOL! It's a real bummer, that's for sure! I was on my 10th week of intense workouts and losing inches. Hopefully I can get moving again, or get a stationary bike. He said it wouldn't hurt it to use a bike. Thank you!

Thanks, Susan! I've heard of a few people who had this happen. I can drive and walk (but only wearing shoes!), so I hope it's not too bad.

I know how frustrating it can be when you feel like you can't get done all you want to or feel you need to. I hope you heal quickly, and I'm glad your family is taking good care of you. Milk it for all it's worth!! π
