After much pain and drama ( which is still unfolding concerning my job) I have my new foot /leg brace. Not pretty or elegant at all ..........BUT it allows me to get up and moving slowlyas long as i use my arm canes .
Change is never easy, but it always gives us an opportunity for better. It took me a long time to get used to typing in bed, and to learn to use my left hand because I can't lift more than 5 lbs with my right, but you know what? I'm pretty proud of myself. I can't do much fieldwork anymore, but without my disability I would probably never thought about writing as a career. Life happens... and it's always for a reason.
Hi Magaly :) That is so true about change .... it is allowing me to rediscover the parts of me that i had pushed down and hidden away now for several years........ Once more i can say "why yes! I am pagan and Yes! I make voodoo dolls :P They put food on the table lately also I am way proud of you also! I enjoy reading your blog and you inspire me .
Lisa, your comment here is inspiring. I know you had some issues with being who you are recently, and I'm glad you are rejoicing in that freedom. :) Blessed be, girl!
