Small Speed Bump on the Road of Life

Remember that foot injury I mentioned a few times? Well, it turns out it is a tad more serious than originally thought. Just so you know, I did have x-rays taken before my trip to Ireland, but they didn't indicate there was any problem so off I went. Fortunately, a friend on the trip insisted I wear a stocking on my foot to keep down the swelling. When I returned home, a visit to an orthopedist and a different type of x-ray and an MRI revealed there was indeed a problem. . . among other things, serious ligament damage. So, I will be sporting this stylish boot for about six months. Yikes!!! Well, it could have been a whole lot worse.

I am truly blessed to have wonderful friends who have stepped up to lend a hand. Also, this nifty, basic black boot goes with every outfit that I wear. Though Emma won't be having any long walks until springtime, fortunately, I do have a large fenced in backyard where she can run around and chase those pesky squirrels. Actually, she seems quite happy to have me home more as I am always bopping around somewhere, and the boot does indeed make a fine place to rest her head while curled up on the hassock. Another good thing, the boot is not on my driving foot.  Finally, at this point there will be no surgery so It's All Good!!! (After all, this isn't called "a positive outlook" for nothing. )
