UPDATE

I don’t know how or why, but suddenly this afternoon my right foot felt like my foot. My right foot hasn’t felt like my foot for months.

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

💟🌟💟

I’m feeling hopeful for the first time in a very long time.

💟🌟💟

My right foot is healing.

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

UPDATE

Sending love + light!

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

💟🌟💟

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

✅😭

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

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

I don’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 Raynaud’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 back’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.

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

I’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.

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

😭😆

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, they’ll cut open my left foot.

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

💟🌟

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 haven’t left bed yet and I’ve already reached my daily stand goal. I was up multiple times in the night struggling to put the boot on.
