One week into October and I have celebrated two milestones! 🤩
1 - Although I need help getting in and out, I can now stand under the shower, although for a short period. 🙌🏼
2 - Yesterday‘s outing was to the hairdresser and lunch with my in-laws. It was the first time without my moon boot and the first time I wore a shoe on my left foot - since the 24th of July. 🥳
It was a strange feeling taking each step. I still need the crutches for support. As my brother said: it was the first time my leg saw the sun. ☀️😄
I’m still having physio every week. On the day that I tried to walk with just one crutch, I had to consciously flex my left foot when taking a step. Can you imagine forgetting how you used to walk?! My foot is still a bit stiff and my toes are slightly numb.
I have two dark scars on my leg from the metal “tv aerial” after my first op. The scars around my ankle are still healing and need to be treated with TLC. They don’t bother me as much as I thought they would. It’s a constant reminder of what I’ve been through and how far I’ve come.
I have two upcoming follow-ups with the doctor. But I’m in good spirits and slowly, but surely re-gaining my independence. 🙏🏼
I wish you all a wonderful week ahead! 🤗❤️😘
