My First Cast

Yesterday I had surgery on my foot. I have had plantar fasciitis for 7 months. The doctor (who is WONDERFUL!) said that since all conservative treatments have failed, we needed to opt for surgery to get me well and running again! If all goes as planned, I should be able to run (painfree, what a concept!!) in 8 weeks! I am soooo optimistic about this and know it will be great. Until then, I get the luxury of sporting an aircast and crutches... crutches for a week and then as needed and the air cast for a month.

I am a novice at using crutches. I look clumsy and can not figure out how to move cups of coffee and water from one room to the other yet, but baby steps, right?? Soon, I will simply walk on the aircast and feel like a new woman!

I can not wait to wake up and stand up and not have pain in my foot... it has been a long time coming, and soon it will be here! HOORAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!! :)
