I received some very good news on Wednesday. My ankles are healing very nicely! When I first met with the doctor's assistant before my surgery, I told her that I was a fast healer, she looked at me with a lot of doubt in her eyes. When she saw me on Wednesday, she was super impressed! Of course, I have been hitting the Physical Therapy really hard, that helps. So no more boot on my left ankle and no more ankle brace on my right ankle and....no more walker! Whoo Hooo! I still have to use a cane but I think I will be finished with that very quickly! I can drive! Oh I am so happy that I can drive. I bought my new car last December and it only has 716 miles on it!
I learned a lot from this experience. I guess anything that happens, good or bad teaches some kind of lesson. I learned that I have a wonderful husband. I learned that I have fantastic friends, some that went above and beyond helping me. I also discovered how much I love my independence. It was very hard having to be driven everywhere, having others clean my home and not being able to cook a meal. I will never take those things for granted again.
Okay, so here is my card!
I have been told by a lot of you that you really like these pop fold cards so I keep trying new ones!
