Esther has a new toe ball look and if there was such a game, she will probably play it in 6 months when the doctor gives the go ahead! He says, 6 months with careful use of her left foot! That means no yard work and little house work. Those of you want out of "housework", I suggest toe and bunion surgery!
This week the doc removed the staple stitches amid a few twinges! Swelling has gone down and he was well pleased with his handy work! Because of all the gout tissue removed, he placed a pin attached to the yellow ball, in her toe for stability. In 3 weeks he will remove the pin! In the meantime, she will need to wear her special shoe which protects for toe stubs and is easy on and off.
She is especially thankful watching me and coaching me on cooking and laundry!!! And whether your young or old, when you loose your independence for any period of time, you become more thankful for those closest to you. Gratitude is something you cultivate daily and if you do, it will become one of your greatest gifts! (click on photo to enlarge)
