I Need A Favor

Cancel the BOLO, I am back!

I wanted to update you all on something major going on in my life and also ask you for a favor. I know what you’re thinking…. she’s been MIA and now she wants something from us. Yes!

Boot (2)
Ready to be rid of this thing for good

On Thursday morning (tomorrow) I will be having surgery on my left achilles tendon. I initially injured my achilles when I was 18  years old, training for volleyball. After I graduated from college I did some intense physical therapy and it seemed to solve the issue. Then, when the pandemic hit I started running and the pain was back with a vengence. For the past year I have done physical therapy, had a minimally invasive surgical procedure to eliminate scar tissue, and have spent most of the year wearing a boot.

Fun.

Now, the only viable option is for a surgeon to go in and repair the tear in my achilles tendon. The recovery from an achilles rupture repair is brutal. I will be in a hard cast for 6 weeks before I am able to transition to a soft cast. While I will be completely non-weight bearing for 6 weeks, I will more than likely be immobile/minimally mobile for almost 12 weeks. Woof. Fortunately, I have my new knee-scooter whip and handicap placard just ready to hit the road.

Friends, if you think of it, will you pray for me tomorrow morning?

I am feeling a lot of emotions ranging from excited, scared, anxious, and sad. Knowing that you all are thinking about me and praying for me is a comfort and something my family and I appreciate.

I will keep you posted. Much Love!
