Day 211: 3 Weeks

Hello friends! It’s been three weeks since surgery. I’m still in some pain each day but I’m pushing through. Wednesdays are usually my hardest days as I hit 11,000 steps yesterday. Church just makes the day much longer. Today I hit 9,885 but, I think the giraffe visit was worth it. Let’s just say I probably won’t walk too much this weekend.

Daily things like getting ready for the day or for bed continue to be a challenge as I have to think ahead about all that needs to be done. Walking bare foot is difficult and very limited right now. So, if I need to do any walking around the house other than a visit to the restroom, I have to take the time to put on braces/shoes before or after doing something. And honestly the last thing I want on my legs after a long day is another brace. Those activities, while simple seem to take much longer.  I keep telling myself, this too shall pass.

But the Lord has been faithful and given me strength to push through the pain and the patience to deal with kids overly worked up from our field trip. I’m trying to find joy in the little things. 

We are hoping that at the 6 weeks mark the pain will dissipate.

We visit PT on the 22nd and I plan to update you all then. Thank you so much for your continued care, prayers, and support!!
