Default GUESS WHO'S WALKING AFtER 5 WEEKS!!

ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, you guys, I went back to the podiatrist/surgeon for my 4 1/2 week followup..............

AND HE SAID I CAN WALK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The toe is ready to BEND, and he gave me the green light to start walking on it (albeit slowly)....

I actually "walked" out of the office ... (well, okay, it wasn't pretty...but I did it!)

All I need now is to get my brain wrapped around the fact that I can indeed bend the toe (after 2 years of not being able to, *that* is my biggest challenge!)

So, from here on out .. BETTER DAYS ARE AHEAD!! I will be walking progressively increasing distances at a progressively faster pace ... and I AM ON TRACK TO BEGIN MARATHON TRAINING by mid-October!

Thanks so much to EVERYONE on this board who has been the "wind beneath my wings" over the past month and a half ... I LOVE YOU ALL !

Tonight, I actually put on socks and walking shoes and walked a couple houses down the street!

Ladies and gentlemen, THIS RUNNER IS BACK !

BETTY

Congrats! You must have been going out of your mind for the last few weeks, but at least it's good news and you can start slowly but surely

Congrats Betty! I know this has to be a highwater mark for you these days! You must have been going crazy not being able to walk/run. You'll be back into form in no time, I am sure!

I'm happy for you!

Thumbs up Re: GUESS WHO'S WALKING AFtER 5 WEEKS!!

WHOOHOO! Fantastic news Betty!
How cool is that! Oh, I bet that would feel strange to be able to bend your toe for the first time in two years.
Looks as though you've putting it to good use walking down the street. Very cool!
You'll be in top shape for your Marathon training!
I'm really happy for you!
Sincerely, Sherri
