Foot update

Well, in the "Put on your big girl panties and deal with it" News department, I had a doctor appointment today to get the results of the nerve study done last week on my foot.  There was zero regeneration of the nerve, so I have two options. 1) Do nothing and continue to wear a brace and trip constantly for the rest of my life (probably breaking something in a fall) or 2) Have a tendon transfer surgery done. 


The surgery is complex and has a long recovery.  Since I am now considering wearing clothes while I shower to be a viable option so that I'm dressed at all times when I fall,  I choose #2. Another thing pushing me in that direction is that the tendon on the side of my good foot is bulging out and very painful.  The doctor said that is happening because of the weird gate I now walk with, so that is only going to get worse.  I meet with the surgeon in a few weeks. To say I'm bummed out about this would be an understatement.  This is not how I wanted the year to start off.
