Bye Bye Shoebootie...

...hello walking!

I am delighted to announce that I have graduated from shoebootie. I still have one more x-ray to come and I'm still using an elastic type tape -- a miracle product that replaces the old ace bandage -- and regularly icing my foot, but I am officially in two sneakers and I am loving it. I am scheduled to get my new orthotics in two weeks and I'm really looking forward to wearing shoes, real shoes and not sneakers. 

I do have a round of rehab to look forward to, but it's probably my sixth or seventh go at physical therapy and I am actually looking forward to it. I know it will be much easier to walk when I am finished and my back will feel better, too.  I will also then be able to return to my exercise classes and in one part of my life all will truly be right with the world. I know there will still be a few aches and pains, but not this set of aches and pains, and I feel very fortunate for that.  

Please stop by tomorrow for one of my favorite parts of the week, Random 5 Friday. It won't be quite as random as usual -- the date of November 22, 1963 has been on my mind -- but it's just about my favorite post each week. 

As always, thanks for stopping by. Sweet dreams and take good care of yourself.

congratulations on no bootie, I remember to this day after 10 months in a full leg cast what it was like to bath, shave that leg and wear my running shoes, super for you.

Glad to see the bootie gone. I still have memories of one leg in a cast and the other foot in a bootie so I know exactly how you feel to be free.

Good for you Buttercup. You still have a way to go yet...but it's promising. I would love to wear heels once in a while, but those days are over for me and my bad ankles. Take care. Stay warm , xoxo,Susie
