Swelling is a big issue. Just when I thought it wasn't so bad it has been difficult all week. Unless I am wearing running shoes. If I stand to do dishes, or anything my foot swells, if I wear any shoes other than runners my foot swell instantly. If I push on my foot with my finger, it leaves a finger print for about 10 minutes. It's weird. Shoes are also a problem. My foot is a funny shape and won't fit into 90% of my shoes.
I have been able to walk down a flight of stairs without holding the railing though. It still hurts to round my foot properly when I walk but I have more confidence in my stability.
I will have a meeting with Dr. Petrisor on Monday morning so I will know more then. I can't wait. I have a feeling this is as good as it will get. It's been almost 6 months. The accident could have been so much worse, so if this is it I will accept it but it would be nice to be able to wear any shoes again.
About Me
- Kim
- I was born in the late 50's. I grew up with both my Mom and Dad. I am the oldest of three daughters. My one sister is 1 1/2 years younger than me. She was so wild she made me look like an angel. My youngest sister is 6 years younger than me and always the most spoiled. I got married when I was 22 and had two beautiful sons by the time I was 28. I began working in the 'family' business in 1990 and have absolutely loved every single minute. Unfortunately I became a single parent when the kids were 10 and 12. I was lucky to have shared 9 years with a man I considered to be my best friend. All of these things have shaped the person I am today. Some experiences have been thrilling, others have been brutally terrifying. We are all shaped and molded by our experiences. I can honestly say that 2004 - 2007 has forever changed who I am. I am still trying to figure out where to go from here.
