As you know if you've been following my posts from my other blog and some of this one that I fractured my foot in early December because of my stupid Reebok easy tone shoes (never again!!!!). Well my foot has made great progress but it's still not normal. My doc told me to wear tennis shoes for the next three months, which would be until June. I'm able to walk and work out, but my foot still hurts every morning, if I walk in bumpy or slightly slanted ground and just randomly some days. I wonder if it will ever be perfect again? The doc said there is no point in having surgery and would not recommend it because it's to small to put a pin in. All in all I'm grateful to be walking, but I'm believe God for full and total healing. It's only been 5 months and to me that seems like forever, but according my doc and my mom (who is a nurse) 5 mths is usually the quickest a fracture heals and most take about 8-12mths to fully recover, so I'm not worried.
My work outs have been fairly consistent but not as consistent as I'd like. My hubs says he can see a difference which keeps me motivated. The biggest thing is keeping my emotions in check. It's been such a hard season for me (the last 3-4 years). I guess no one really knows all I've been through. One day when I write my testimony it will make more sense to everyone I guess. It's crazy how much our emotions can dictate the foods we crave, the amount we eat and our motivation to work out. I'm thankful I have a husband that's full of wisdom and who is willing to listen to me vent. There is so much freedom in talking to someone.
Life is never easy, but it's these hard times that can develop the best in us if we let them. God is faithful to carry us through whatever we're facing.
