OK ladies, many of you know that the last 4 1/2 years for me have been tough health wise : burst artery that almost killed me and then breast cancer. Through all of this, I have felt lucky and blessed and hopeful. I have also looked forward to the day that I could hike in the woods and bike again ( two of my favorite things ). Just a little bit of my old life back.

Finally, this summer, I felt well enough to do it regularly and it just filled my soul with light. I couldn't wait for school to start for my kids so that I could hit the beautiful trails by our house a few times a week.

Then in Sept, I broke my toe two weeks into school. MY TOE ! It seemed so insignificant. But I haven't been able to wear shoes since, the doctor told me not to walk..and so on. It is also not healing properly. And I am just so bummed. Of all things, over a TOE. It seems so ridiculous to me but this is the most upset I have been over my health. ROFL...ok, I just gave myself a chuckle when I wrote that.

I won't even mention that if it doesn't heal properly, I have to get rid of all my shoes and my precious boots. I know. That is not a typo. : (

Thanks for "listening".

XXXXXXX

ETA : Not this is not a competition but I think that Carter may need our toe support a little more than me at this time ! LOL There are so many bad jokes that I want to make, like, " Going toe to toe with Carter". : )
