A New Day

Well, it's been awhile since I've been on here but I'm back. It's been a crazy, rough few months. After being in a boot to protect my foot for two months, I finally had an MRI done. I had surgery on my right foot to repair a torn tendon. Of course, nothing is easy for me so when the doctor opened me up, he found that he had to trim another tendon and cut away muscle overgrowth. I still don't understand what happened but I do understand time. My recovery went from a month to three or more months. So, six weeks later (in a cast), and I'm back into a boot. I'll be in the boot for at least four weeks while going through intense physical therapy. Ugh, this is miserable. Though, I finally went swimming today (so thankful to be out of the cast) and it felt great to get a little exercise and enjoy some time with the family.

Needless to say, my healthy eating lifestyle has gone out the window. I'm still trying to slowly recover and am hoping it won't be too hard. I'll begin again in a couple of weeks, once I'm better with the walking. Let me tell you, trying to eat right while depending on your husband and teenage daughter to fix your meals is an impossible thing. I took what I could get and had to either be happy with it or go hungry. I learned to be a little less picky..haha.

Anyway, hopefully, I'll have a positive update soon. Can't wait to get back into this and share my stories and life with everyone. And, hope you will share yours with me.
