Well it has been 7 weeks since I broke my ankle, it seems like longer to me!  Several of you have asked how I was and I'm so grateful that you are thinking of me and praying, it means more then you know!  I am doing great.  I saw the dr. today and he said to start weaning myself off of the fracture boot.  The only issue I really have (which is really normal) is that my leg and foot are very weak.  He says that my muscles are only at 50 percent, which means of course I need to work up another 50 percent strength.  So I will have several weeks of physical therapy and exercises at home.  Please pray I will stay motivated and will take the time and effort to do this.  It’s the only way I'm going to be back where I need to be.  I'm so grateful this was a clean-cut break (if it had to be any) I avoided surgery, a cast and was able to walk around on it most of my time with it.  That is a HUGE blessing!  They say 85 percent of ankle breaks have to have surgery so Thank You Jesus for letting me avoid that! 

Anytime something like this happens to us God can sure use it to slow us down.  He teaches us to be still, rest awhile and let GO of things.  I won't mislead you though it is not been easy for me.  Sitting around when I want to be doing, doing, and doing.

  I am so grateful for the friends and family I have during times like this too, it makes me see how blessed I am that people run over a meal, a shower seat, a walker, a sister in law that cleaned my house -that many have remembered me in their prayer times for a quick recovery.  That my children have learned a little more about helping a family member out and making sure mom has a clear path to the bathroom!  I remember the day I came home with the temporary cast and my children were running around like bees trying to help me.  Can I bring you a pillow mom?  Can I get you the footrest?  How can we help you?  Ah yes, I am blessed!  And I have to mention my husband who has sacrificed his life for mine during these many weeks.  I have not been able to drive so he has come home from work to take me the Dr.’s and therapy, rearranged his morning to get my son to his piano practice and has done more laundry then he would like to count.  How blessed I am to have him as my husband, I can't thank God enough for him-I'm truly not worthy enough. 

I'm excited about moving on and real soon coming out of this boot totally!  Just wanted to update you all out there that have been checking in on me!
