I went to the doctor again yesterday. I have a brace now instead of a walking boot. I actually have more pain with the brace but walking itself is easier. My feet are on the same level again. The brace provides support but my ankle can move more.
The doctor, when I asked if I can start taking walks, explained that I am not yet healed enough. That I could make myself worse. I saw by the end of the day, with the increased foot pain (basically all over, the foot muscles have not been used much I guess in the last month), that my doctor was right about that.
Actually it's a rare thing to have someone be able to tell you concretly about the stages of healing. So I am greatful.
I know I am still healing inwardly from everything. But I pray that this time will aid me in that.
Even though I knew I would struggle as I heal (physically) because I have to be housebound for weeks and emotionally that's hard for me. I think it's hard for most people.
So I am trying to take it slow today. By which I mean, not doing everything at once. I hope to get dishes done today from yesterday. I got the beginning of the Miss Read book series about the village Thrush Green. They have really helped me before.
I did some tidying already.
But I realized, after about an hour up having tea and breakfast, tidying, that I was tired and need rest. So I am.
It's wonderful that God doesn't leave us to heal alone. May God have mercy on us.
