            Hi Kara,

            Good luck with the 2nd opinion. It is always nice to have a surgery done closer to home if possible.

            Let us know how it goes.

            Have you been doing anything fun lately?

            Take care, Gayle

              Thanks gayle. Yes I been doing art and crafts
              Hey everyone how was your day. I went to my art class today. Right now I'm just taking a break in my bedroom. My foot is hurting really bad right now even taking Motrin and extra strength tylone don't really do anything to help pain. My appt with my new orthopedist is Tommrow. To see if I can have the surgery sooner then Februqary 2015. Because you figure I broke my in February or March of this year. It still not healing.

                Kara, I'm so sorry to hear this is still so painful.

                Do you know how you broke your foot? I'm sorry if you already mentioned it.

                Take care.

                  The only way I can think of is how my foot is formed. As seen in this pic of two x-rays of my right foot image.jpg

                                Kennedy, after all that you survived so well with your back surgery, your foot surgery will be minor! You are a strong woman. Just follow the doctor's instructions exactly. Keep your foot elevated. You will be up and walking again before you know it!

                                When you feel stressed, close your eyes and let your body relax and take some deep breaths.

                                Who is going to help you after your foot surgery?

                                Sending you healing vibes and a big hug,
