Walking Boot

It has been an incredibly long day, but I wanted to write before heading to bed to give everyone an update.

I went to the doctor this afternoon, and the doctor took off the cast.  He examined how things were progressing, and decided to put on a walking cast.  Someone from the states sent down a walking boot a few months ago, and so we brought it to show the doctor to see if it could be used.  He looked it over, and determined it would be a good thing to use.  So, I am currently cast free, and using a walking boot.  The good thing about this is that I can take it off when in the shower and wash my leg.  The down side is that it is heavier and warmer than a cast.  But, I think it is good progress.

For the next week, I can't put full weight on the foot, so I am still using crutches.  Next week, I can move to putting full weight on it.  I go back to the doctor on Friday, Nov 18 at 4pm.  If the leg is completely healed, I can go leave for the US on Monday, Nov 21 cast/boot/crutches free.  So, please be in prayer for this.

Tonight, I was able to return home.  It was difficult, but it feels great.  I will play it by ear to see if I can handle it, and know that I can always go back to the Tibbs house if it isn't working.  But, tonight, I am watching the end of the KC Chiefs game, in my apartment, and praising God for the progress.  I have a long way to go in the next 3 weeks, but I feel it is essential to realize how far He has brought me in order to have the confidence that He will allow me to go back to the states free and clear on Nov 21.  So, I praise Him tonight. 

Please continue praying with me.  I greatly appreciate it!
