After much pain and drama ( which is still unfolding concerning my job) I have my new foot /leg brace.
Not pretty or elegant at all ..........BUT it allows me to get up and moving safely and now I can get back to doing the things I need to do .........though I am still using my cane at the moment for balance .
It will mean a job change and job retraining ......i will not be able to work my janitor job ( no loss there) .......I am looking forward to SOON I Hope ...learning new skills that I can turn into a sit down job ..

Change is never easy, but it always gives us an opportunity for better. It took me a long time to get used to typing in bed, and to learn to use my left hand because I can't lift more than 5 lbs with my right, but you know what? I'm pretty proud of myself. I can't do much fieldwork anymore, but without my disability I would probably never thought about writing as a career. Life happens... and it's always for a reason.
ReplyDeleteI hope it's not too painful. Great luck!
Hi Magaly :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so true about change .... it is allowing me to rediscover the parts of me that i had pushed down and hidden away now for several years........
Once more i can say "why yes! I am pagan and Yes! I make voodoo dolls :P They put food on the table lately also
I am way proud of you also! I enjoy reading your blog and you inspire me .
Lisa, your comment here is inspiring. I know you had some issues with being who you are recently, and I'm glad you are rejoicing in that freedom. :) Blessed be, girl!
ReplyDeleteHey Angie 1 YEs..I am very pleased to go back to "being me"
ReplyDeleteI made myself a necklace that says " I am" .....which means I am myself :)
