Hello, Barb! It's so good to hear from you, knowing how sick you've been. Please don't worry about the delay in your reply. My hope for you is that you take care of yourself first. I'm so sorry you've had this bit of a relapse, all the more reason for resting to heal. I do hope and pray you're seeing improvements with the meds and that you feel better with each new day. Continued prayers for full healing! 💖

I'm will be having surgery on my left foot to correct some problems from a surgery I had there two years ago to reconstruct that foot with an arch. I was born without arches and have very poor support in both feet. The left foot was first because I had a tendon at the back of the foot that became dysfunctional, and to fix it, the foot had to be able to give it the correct support. To build the arch, bones were broken in a couple of places, and then donor bone was wedged in. Hardware (plates and screws) help hold it all in place. In one spot, my body didn't accept the donor bone, so the bone is still broken and the screws anchoring the plate there broke. We didn't know until March that I'd been walking on broken bones for two years! This surgery will remove the donor bone and broken hardware. Then bone from my own knee will be used in the gap, and new hardware will secure it. I'll be non-weight bearing for six weeks, then it'll be an additional four weeks to be fully weight bearing and actually walking. Thank you for your prayers!

Sending hugs and well-wishes! 🤗🌺🌻🌹 🐾🐾
