Day 5

Friday, December 3rd....I finally had surgery to remove the Morton's Neuroma that had been driving me crazy for six months. It is now December 8th and I am able to put enough weight on my foot to not HAVE to use crutches. I am still pretty immobile, but at least I can transport a glass or plate from the kitchen to another room.
I really can't thank my mom enough for coming out to Arizona to get me through surgery. I know that my family is the type of family that doesn't let each other down and ALWAYS pull's through for one another, but she was simply a LIFE-SAVER. I know that my recovery is off to such a great start because of her caring and help. She left this morning, but she left knowing that I am on the road to recovery. And a shout out to my Dad for being so understanding that I needed her more than he did! As well for checking in on me daily.
My friends have also been amazing...Aaron, Brandi, Kristen, Krista, Wendy, and Jen have all stopped by or called to check in on me. And my step-dad Barry has been great and supportive from a far.
So here I am again...grateful.....grateful for the many blessings in my life. I hope I can be back on my feet by the end of the month. I am sooooo dying to know what it will feel like to take steps without the neuroma there. Supposedly it was two inches thick....how gross! Will I be able to put on my bike and running shoes again without that feeling???? God-willing I will! Day by day...stitches out next Friday!
