Update on my foot

Well, not much to report.  If I concentrate with all my might, cross my fingers and hold my head just right, I can move one toe (next to the biggest) about 1/2" up.  That's it.  No other movement.  And 1/2" is probably a bit generous. Unless something miraculous happens - and I believe in miracles -- I will be having a tendon transplant surgery when school is out. 

I do not want to have that. It appears to be a horrible surgery with a long recovery, but neither do I want to keep tripping every day.  At some point, I will end up hurting myself worse by falling.  The surgery has about a 85-90% success rate, so odds are in my favor that by this time next year, I will be walking normally again.
