Yes, I'm shouting, but I have good reason...
As many know, I've been waiting, begging, pleading for four years now to get my left foot taken care of. Between the what is now sadly normal wait times in Ontario, plus two cancellations I couldn't take for various reasons, it sadly stretched into four years.
Well Thursday my Foot Surgeon in Toronto's Office called and...FINALLY!!!
May 10th I finally get this thing taken care of, but the best part? I was already going to be in Toronto, as that's when I was planning on heading back as far as my Sister's in Sudbury after my week down for CSOI and a couple Jays games, not to mention a few other things. So no having figuring out how to get me to Sudbury to in turn to get down to Toronto this time.
Follow ups OTOH...Well, I'm going to have to talk about that w/him on Pre Op day and figure something out. He's really awesome though, so hopefully...
Anyway...FINALLY!!! It's now at the point where thanks to how I'm putting my foot down in order to try and not put weight on where everything's going on, which since it's the middle of the ball of my foot...Yeah. Anyway, I've got my hip muscles so tied up, walking is not fun, plus I haven't been able to even use my recumbent bike, since there was no comfortable way to push that left pedal and I miss my nightly workouts.
Plus being to stand to bake, cook and do a lot I've been missing just because because of the shape the foot's in. What's really sad though? I know deep down this is going to be more complicated due to the time it took to get to this point. I hope not, but I'm not stupid either and I know it's gotten worse as time's gone by, but nothing I can do about it except hope for the best.
I would have shared this sooner, except we've been having power outages here the last few days. I did want to let everyone know though.
