The post-op shoe, the cortisone shot, the boot, and the passing of time did not take away my right foot pain. No fracture re the x-rays; the MRI images were not helpful. The foot specialist says based on how I injured the foot, and the location and type of pain that I probably have tears in my short peroneal tendon that runs along the side of my foot. There may be other damage as well. The only way to find the problem and fix it is with surgery. On November 26th, I will have outpatient day surgery.
Because I will have to keep the weight totally off of my foot for about 6 weeks and for the first two weeks even keep the foot elevated above the level of my heart, I will not be visiting the computer. This is probably my last post until the middle of December. Take a little “vacation” from From a Beggar’s Bowl. I will be able to read email on my Nook.
I have some Janette Oke DVD movies that were donated to the retirement library that I will play on our little portable DVD player. Lots of books stocked up as well. Once I get a little better, I am going to try to teach myself to knit by making a dish cloth with these instructions. I bought some yarn already.
Have a blessed Thanksgiving. I will probably sleep most of that day because of the pain meds. I am sorry to miss out on some of the holiday season events, but for several reasons it is best to get this done now.
