Sandi had another therapy
appointment yesterday afternoon with the physical therapist and the news was
not good at all. The therapist now believes Sandi has the exact same injury in
her left foot and leg as she does in her right. Apparently the tendon on the left
side is also now trying to pull away from the bone in her leg. While that left foot
is not booted as of yet, the therapist believes that it needs to be. How she
will walk at all around here with boots on both feet I have no idea.
The therapist was very blunt in his assessment
yesterday and thinks it will be months before she can return to work. Of course
he does not have the final say on any of this as that is up to the doctor. Her next
appoint with the foot doctor is November 30th when he will
reevaluate her status.
Sandi was very upset and depressed
about all this when she came back home yesterday. I kept trying to point out
that a year ago she was coming off knee surgery and about to get a terminal
cancer diagnosis so things could easily be worse. Been there and done that. So,
as bad as this is, at least this year it is not cancer and she is home for
Thanksgiving.
In the meantime, while watching TV
and listening to me yell at football teams and curse politicians and news
readers, she has been making things like crazy. That means she has been able to
add some new product to her store on iOffer at: http://www.ioffer.com/selling/sanditipple
She does do special orders by
request and has other things not shown on the site. So, if you don’t see what
you are looking for ask here or contact her through her crafting projects blog

The pictures come from earlier this week when I finally convinced her she looked good and to let me take one so others could see. Considering where she was a year ago and where she is now, I think she looks fantastic.

I think she looks good, too, Kevin. She's a fighter and an inspiration to all.
Still amazed she is with us after all that happened.
She looks wonderful! Give her a hug from me, Kevin.
Done! Thanks, Marilyn.
She's an inspiration to many folks I'm sure. As for the foot amputation, I'll keep my fingers crossed. I've done that, probably waited to long in my case, and it can be managed.
You guys are in our prayers.
Woah...nobody said anything about foot amputation. What they are talking about, Randy, is doing some sort of deal where they would open her foot up and then go vertically around the ankle and up into the leg. None of it sounds good either.
I don't think they would try this until sometime in January at the earliest.
My apologies, sir, to both of you. I guess I misread something there. I certainly wouldn't wish that on anyboy. Glad to hear it's not nearly ...well you know.
No apologies necessary, my friend.
Sandi does look great. And I love the shirt! Need one of those myself. :)
LOL....she got it here locally at SURVIVOR GAL here in Plano.
