Friday, June 19, 2009

I really don't have much to write today. Yesterday I went to the orthopedic specialist for a follow-up on my ankle. After poking, prodding, bending, pushing, pulling, twisting, and rotating she decided she needed e-rays. After standing there in the most un-natural positions, left foot pointed out - right foot pointed in at a 90 degree angle, she comes back to tell me I may need surgery again. Apparently the tendons running on the outside of my ankle aren't anchored properly and are still very loose which is pulling on the bones. Thus the intense pain and swelling I keep getting. Lovely news. So now I have to wait for an ultra-sound to tell her exactly what's going on. Today, I can barely walk. What fun!!

It's raining here, again, and they are calling for severe thunderstorms and flash flooding. I have been cruising the internet looking at houses for sale in various areas of the country. It's amazing what is out there. It's also very cathartic in the way that it takes my mind off my foot for at least a few minutes until I move it in a way that it doesn't appreciate. Then it's OUCH!!!

So, I'll be making the post rather short. I feel the pain meds kicking in, so I'll be off to la-la land soon. Hugs to all.
