UPDATE

I donโ€™t know how or why, but suddenly this afternoon my right foot felt like my foot. My right foot hasnโ€™t felt like my foot for months.

And I showered standing up for the first time in over 6 months!

๐Ÿ’Ÿ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ’Ÿ

Iโ€™m feeling hopeful for the first time in a very long time.

๐Ÿ’Ÿ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ’Ÿ

My right foot is healing.

MRI results showed itโ€™s no longer broken but still bruised + showing an increased stress reaction. The orthopedic doctor said thatโ€™s good news + means it is healing.

UPDATE

Sending love + light!

I lost a friend to cancer; she was only 55. ๐Ÿ’” It was surreal being at her apartment a week ago without her. ๐Ÿ˜ญ Compiling pics + videos this afternoon for her April 6 celebration of life depleted me. Fuck cancer!

๐Ÿ’Ÿ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ’Ÿ

Complications + setbacks for my right foot have delayed surgeries for left foot. First surgery: April 11.

Began physio for my right foot since it needs to do all the work soon.

Achievement unlocked today:

Cried in a meeting with my new boss

โœ…๐Ÿ˜ญ

She asked how I was doing with everything Iโ€™m going through so the floodgates opened. My response: Honestly, Iโ€™m not okay

She urged me to use supports available to me through work.

I donโ€™t have the bandwidth to deal with it today but maybe tomorrow.

I apologized for not being in the office and she was very compassionate saying I need to heal.

Update:

I was seen by my orthopedic doctor before 2 PM so that was good.

He tested my standing and said I have improved but not there yet. He said I need to start trying to walk without the boot around my place and see him again on January 22. I brought up Raynaudโ€™s since the plastic surgeon made a point of saying it would delay wound healing. He said it definitely could affect the recovery for a stress fracture as well. Sigh.

Picked up a walker to help with balance.

My backโ€™s not happy. I have a lower back injury from 2000 that has been acting up since I started wearing the boot for my right stress fracture.

Iโ€™ve finished my foot rehab exercises so now Iโ€™m lying on my bed with my legs up the wall to ease my back.

Iโ€™ll make my way to the convalescing couch that has a heating pad already turned on in preparation.

I see the orthopedic doctor in 10 days so hopefully my foot is healed by then.

Iโ€™ve had a rough year but I just burst out laughing in the middle of crying over my current situation.

๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜†

Instead of once a door closes, a window opens, I thought:

Once a bone heals, a foot opens. Meaning once my right foot fracture heals, theyโ€™ll cut open my left foot.

Because thatโ€™s what happens to everyone, right?! Once one pain is gone, the universe gives you another!

๐Ÿ’Ÿ๐ŸŒŸ

My therapist always tells me how important it is that I still have my sense of humour.

Sleep, glorious sleep!

I cannot take most meds. I have had a *very difficult* time with anxiety over my various foot health issues. I remembered a supplement I used to take + took it last night. Success! Thanks, GABA!

I also use several meditation apps + did a meditation to help me stop catastrophizing before bed.

Wow, I havenโ€™t left bed yet and Iโ€™ve already reached my daily stand goal. I was up multiple times in the night struggling to put the boot on.
