it's saturday the 24th . I apologize. I really wanted to give everybody updates on how I was doing. But when I got home Tuesday night, I was exhausted
Wednesday. thanks to my brother law , I did get a chance to be taken to that store for food. That was great.
By Thursday, I was able to feed myself pretty easily. Although I will admit it is hard to stand , they gave me this walking boot. It doesn't allow me to put pressure on the area. That's open on my foot. So it's kind of like stepping on a tennis ball. That's on your heel, and that's where you have to balance from. It does a good job. But man, is it hard to walk in? it's heavy, too.
Friday, I was able to drive myself to the grocery store
Very carefully, of course. it's really interesting. You have to leave yourself so much room between in-between cars. Because you have to be really deliberate. When moving your foot from gas to brake, you need to have extra time just in case you mess up. I'm sure some people were annoyed with spacing.
Today, I was able to make 2 trips. One to the mini market for a diet, pepsi, and later today I was able to make it to the grocery store, and now my leg is sore, but i'm getting a little bit better every day
One small positive to all this is that it has been 11 days since my last cigarette. Not bad, after 30 years.
I don't have the words to express how much your generosity,thoughts, and prayers have meant to me... Chuck
We will check back in tomorrow.
