I saw Dr. Petrisor this morning. He took some xrays and is very happy with the results. He says the swelling could very well take a year to be under control. The flexibility in my toes is being hampered by the tendons being all tied up in scar tissue. It will get progressively better with exercise. I don't have to wear my orthotics anymore, my arch is strong enough. He also said that if I need to have the screws out I can call him but if they aren't bothering me they can stay in, HORRAY.
I've pretty much come as far as the medical field can take me, now we'll just have to wait and see how much better it gets. That's OK with me. It could have been so much worse. I was sitting in the waiting room with a young guy who walked backwards off a roof in September. He thought he had two more steps to go, and down he went feet first. He basically exploded his feet. They put him back together and today he was walking. My injury just didn't seem so bad after talking to him. He had a kick ass attitude just like me, that will take him far.
Today is a good day.
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.

With an attitude like yours there's no reason your healing won't be complete in time.
And remember that your stubborness comes from both parents so you can't lose!
