Free at last... but no pic

I had my cast taken off yesterday. Needless to say that my leg looked nasty. I took a pic for Brian, but I will no post it and gross you out.

I was very nervous. A ladt I did not know had a saw very close to my skin. Riain went with me and was sitting across the room, watching with excitment. This is the kind of thing he loves. So, he watching me and the nurse, then he must have seen the fear in my face. He walked over to me, grabbed my hand, and started pushing my hair to the side of my face. THen he bent down and kissed my forehead and said, "It is ok Mommy, you will be ok." KIsses me again and tells me to think of chocolate and bunnies. It was one of the sweetest things anyone has ever said to me or done for me. I love that boy!!!!

So my cast is off, and my foot feels strange. I had a pedi yesterday, so that felt better. My ankle is really sore and my calf is weak. I have lost a lot of muscle mass, and it I think it will take a while to built back up. I am glad to be wearing two shoes again. Hopefully my foot is better. My bones did not fuse back together, so if they keep giving issues, surgery is an option. I hope it does not come to that. Only time will tell.

I just want to take a minute and thank my family and friends for helping me over the last 6 weeks. I love you all!!
