It’s been a while since I’ve written. I lost my voice. I became busy trying to get back on my feet and network for opportunities. I was so close and then it was taken away from me, again. This is what it feels like to me, my life taken away. My foot was diagnosed broken for a second time in June. By simply walking my sesamoid bone broke. A cat scan showed it was broken previously. This was the part of the foot I complained bitterly about to my doctor and anyone who would listen to me during the initial accident and layup. He chose to ignore that part of my foot and only address the broken (navicular) arch. So, due to improper treatment and diagnosis I suffered another break. I spent the summer hoping to heal and not able to walk on that foot well. I wore the fabulous air cast, again. No one should wear an air cast as long as I did. My new doctor decided the only solution is to operate. I happily agreed and had surgery on September 15. My doctor removed the entire sesamoid bone because it was broken in two pieces and NOT healing.
Let me state for the record that foot surgery is by far the worst surgery to heal from. The pain is unbearable.
I seem to be doing well now and put myself in a sneaker this week. Though I still have pain and swelling, it’s helping me to even out the weight on the feet. I now proceed toward making progress of bearing full weight on the foot, more specifically the ball portion of the foot.
I kind of hold my breath over this foot issue because I still face the possibility of an additional surgery. Removal of the sesamoid causes a bunion to form. However, I all ready have it. My bone curves. If it remains at this point I can/might (be able to) hopefully avoid surgery.
Fingers crossed I can work toward putting this ordeal behind me. After all it’s been long enough. Sadly it’s robbed me of everything I was working toward. It’s caused me to stop and rethink my plans that feel very far away from my reality. I believe wholeheartedly everything happens for a reason and boy there has got to be a good reason for this past year’s events.
Now I awake each day to taking it day by day, situation by situation because I have other thoughts in mind; thoughts that were buried, I buried, and now have surfaced. These thoughts I will keep to myself.
Good luck to me!
