One year later...

As unbelievable as it seems to me, tomorrow marks the one year anniversary of my fibulectomy. At this point 365 days ago, I couldn't see past my impending surgery, let alone consider where I would be a year off. Thanks to the skill and dedication of Dr. Healey, I am well enough to walk wherever I wish to go (although to date it's not farther than 1-1/2 miles at a time on the treadmill), I can wear shoes with 1-1/2 inch heels, I can walk around in slippers for an entire day without pain, I've made it through my first (minor) snowfall intact, and other than some stiffness when I'm off my feet for more than an hour or so, I walk normally. I still have pain the day after if I spend several hours cleaning, but only when I'm foolish enough not to wear an ace bandage.

Bravo and kudos, Dr. Healey.

My next scans are scheduled for mid-March and I will be seeing both Dr. Healey and Dr. Keohan the week of March 12. I will report back then if not sooner.

It's finally become very cold here, after our winter initially consisted of temperatures ranging from the mid-50s to the low 70s. The past few mornings the temperature has been around 9 degrees when I leave the house, with highs in the upper teens. Brrrrrrrr!!!

Hope it's warmer wherever you are. Thanks again for following my saga over the past year. I truly and sincerely appreciate your friendship and support.
