HI SUE,
tell me why are the bones in your foot so bad? is this an ongoing thing like wear and tear from the hip problem, or from some type of accident? i have to wear a brace for the foot drop and i hate it ... i have throw it across the room a few times! ha! not too mature, eh? but it does help and get me where i need to go with less tripping. so good luck with the adjusting to it.
i also wanted to ask how long you were in body casts? i was in them for about 2 and 1/2 years. from 3-5 years old. my father made a scooter for me to lay on and get around the house. i learned to be a good artist though. there is something good that can come out of everything i guess.
i had to deal with a problem with the grandson who lives with me this week, and so that has not been fun. but today is gorgeous, and neither hot nor humid, so i am enjoying it. i just cut the border strips for a quilt i am finishing and will go back and get it done after this. it is for my kitchen table. then i will begin crochet and sewing for the twins! susan is doing well except with the diabetes. her numbers are a bit high so she is seeing the doctor every Monday. i worry of course, i have to, i'm the mother! but she looks good and is getting bigger. we do not yet know the sexes. maybe in july.
well, i hope you have a low pain weekend and holiday.
how nice to have a 'congenital hip/rsd sister!! joan
