Progress

Monday - Surgery
Tuesday - Home from hospital
Wednesday - Back to work, Nick drove me to work, taxi home
Thursday - Nick drove me to work, taxi home
Friday - I drove me to work vowing never to take stinky, smelly taxi ever again!
Saturday & Sunday - Usual routine
Monday - Wore shoes to work, 2 of them! No more slippers to work.

Not bad. I just wonder how many brain cells were slaughtered last Monday....

Kim I am so glad you seem to be doing so good. But, with that strong will you have in abundance we couldn't expect any less. Kathy

Hi Kim- I got your email today. Yes, I did have a LisFranc Fracture. There was a 3 hour surgery on October 9. 4 screws. I am supposed to have the screws removed in 4 months.

If you would like to communicate with me about this via email, please send me your email address. The message that I got just had the "noreply" from Google. I'll understand if you prefer no to also.

I have been communicating with another lady who had a LisFranc and she referred me to the following link. http://www.steadyhealth.com/Lisfranc_Foot_Fracture_Stories___part_3_t181869.html
There are lots of interesting posts there.

I so appreciate the time you took to put together your blog. Barb

Kim - I may have missed this, but was just wondering. How long after your first surgery did you return to work? I see your first surgery was Nov. 2007. My surgery was October 9 and I was cleared to go back to work November 4. I went for two days and was so exhausted that I had to take the third day off! Also, even though the wheelchair has a way to elevate my leg, it isn't as high as I am used to so by the afternoon my foot hurts so much.
It was discouraging to see that 90% of your shoes no longer fit :( I wondered about that.
