Hello Tashia!
I have seen your Posts and you are truly an awesome survivor!
Am I correct in thinking you do Quilting??
I love that!
I am an artist of sorts, and have been using some Fabrics a bit...

I wish you a steady Recovery and lots of Peace!

I went to the foot doctor and good news my feet havent't gotten real bad so the damage can be corrected. He liked my new shoes. He did measure both of my legs and they are even. thank goodness. When he made the new imprints for a new pair of inserts he did notice some change in the way my foot steps. Now is this the cause of all the pain I don't know, I will have to wait. I do know that before I had the inserts made before I was having trouble with my feet,knees and hips. I got in touch with I am fighting depression big time. I have trouble getting interested in anything. I do for a moment and then i couldn't care less. I do know I'm tired of pain, not being able to get my life back. I can't believe how long it taking this time to get going and get back to my driving. I enjoy it so much, when I think of it I fell like I miss it so much. I did a day of just going and seeing the world. I want a dog so bad but I know I can't drive that far and back safely. I'm tired needed pain pills and I have tried to cut back but it hasn't worked. I don't want to get circle of pain like i did with my knees. I am really down right now. I know it will pass but the hill looks like I am at the bottom. I know I not but that is were my feeling are right now. I know as each day passes I am one day closer to getting to the other side and get my life back. :doggieshmooze:Tashia

Dear Tashia,

Please hang in there...some of these days are miserable and then some are better...I tried to take less pain meds last night and again tonight and realize I still need them so I can definitely understand the discouragement but we have to keep on going and I know if I can stay positive it helps but sometimes it is so hard.

Glad things went well at the foot doctor. That is on my list also, I just ordered new sneakers on line and next will be a trip to the podiatrist for new orthotics (inserts). I'm hoping that will help align things in my lower back also.

Take care Tashia and hoping tomorrow is a better day, spring is coming and that will be good for all of us!

Hi dearest Tash

Sorry you are down at the moment, but the one thing I do know about you is that you are one strong lady ! and you won't stay down for long... You are a survivor Tash :

I wouldn't worry about needing the pain Meds still, your body will let you know when you don't need them anymore. You have been through heaps in the past few months since I first got to know you, be gentle with yourself honey.

Ride with the ups and downs and soon there will be more ups. Lots of love xxxx Sandy

 

[tashia]

, thank you for your care and good friend. I get frustrated going up and down on this hill. I do know I have had tuffer one than this one but I think I getting more upset because I want to get my apartment made into a home and a new member of my family. I saw a dog at the quilt show and I came home and wished there was one waiting for me. How are your feet? Mine are getting better now that I know its not turing into something I haven't dealt with before. My foot doctor like my new shoes:th_heehee:How often do you get such a complement from a male doctor? Will try to keep my boots with the new inserts to see if I can use them. Today I also got some herbs that I have been out of for some time. I hope the cream works. Something so simple could be the answer to the problem. In the mail I got the cutest pattern for quilting. Made me laugh. take care my friend.:doggieshmooze:Tashia

Happy Wednesday day from OZ To you Tash, lots of love xxxxxx, Sandy

Hi Tashia, hope things are settling for you now. New inserts can sometimes cause back or knee pain. Ease into wearing them by using them for just a few hours and building up the wearing time.

Take care - Spring will be here soon!

 

[tashia]

Thank you for wishing me a happy day because it has been a good day.
Jaycey, You are right about new inserts can causse knee pain because I have tender knees tonight. In fact right score. But I do think I hope the ones That are sepecial that I had made that will come in a couple of weeks will be better than the ones I wore today. I'm very tired tonight so :doggieshmooze:Tashia

Tash, lots of love, Sandy

By now you are not dought in the evening of today. I hope your day went well and that your feet are doing better. I having some knee pain becasue they are trying to get back in the right positions. Better than before. My feet have stopped hurting so I have started going up the hill again. Take care my friend. :doggieshmooze:tashia

 

[tashia]

Today, was a better day. At least when i get out of bed its not as bad. My hip is tender not painful. Still having issue with the knees not as bad. Hopefully I will be able to start cutting back on the pain meds. Unually 10 hours apart instead of 8.hours Now going in the right direction again. Wow I just realize i'm a senior. All the work was worth it. Everyone take care. :doggieshmooze:tashia

Hi Tashia,

Glad to hear you are heading in the right direction again. It is up and down, isn't it? My new sneakers are coming tomorrow and I'm looking forward to that. I had a lot more energy yesterday and today and did some organizing and going through stuff. That is one of my favorite things to do so I had somewhat of a fun day. Take care.

 

[tashia]

dianemarie I had a very tiring day, I had a pain class and we got introduced to a type of chinese exercise. I felt good but came home and went to sleep. Had a nap over 4 hours. I am not a morning person so going to a class in the morning is really tuff on me. My feet are getting better and better. I have notice my hip is tender and the knees are also tender instead of score or pain. I do feel the feet are getting stronger and I feel more postive. I hope your shoes work as great as my are working for me. :doggieshmooze:tashia

 

[Poppet]

Hi Tash

Pleased to hear your feet are improving, sorry about the other pain. But so glad you did the right thing for yourself and had a nap after your exercise.. Important to rest after some new physical activity xx

 

[tashia]

With the new shoes and inserts are trying to get my body back in line. By the way how are yours doing? take care my friend :doggieshmooze:Tashia:yes 4:

 

[Poppet]

Tash,

It is going to take a while for our bodies to realign, we have been walking uneven for so long, and you had the complication of knee surgery as well... So that is an added complication for your posture... But all will come good, I am sure xxxx

 

[tashia]

thanks I found out when I was in my 20sthat I had one leg longer than the other. So I have always been off balance:th_heehee:Just as I get it balanced something happens and I get unbalance again. so lets see how long this will last. At least it really now has my attention and I don't think I will forget it again. :doggieshmooze:Tashia:th_heehee:
