Slowly Coming Back     posted on 6th of july, 2009

My last blog article was back in March talking about how I had major surgery on my foot and I would be taking a long time to recover and I would not be able to do photography during that time. My surgery on my foot was to fix a dislocated Tendon that was completely flat and to remove an extra muscle in the foot. I'm still recovering since I still have a pain in my foot from the surgery and my foot still gets really tight. It took me awhile to learn to walk correctly again by having Physical Therapy and I am glad that I am at the stage of the recovery that I do not need Physical Therapy anymore. Now I am on my own when it comes to the rest of the recovery and that will heal up eventually but I have to watch myself cause some times I agitate the foot.

Oh, the baby gorilla is so cute!! Glad you are recovering - sounds like it was a pretty major surgery! - posted by Eclecticelegance on July 13, 2009
Thanks again everyone :) Being able to go out and do photography again has been a thrill for me since I was cooped up in an apartment for several months after my surgery. Getting use to doing photography is slowly coming back to me but I know I will get there eventually back to my old self. I'm trying to exercise at least 3 times a week and go for 30 minute walks a day to help with strengthening the muscle in my leg and foot which has been helping me to recover quicker then they expected. The doctor told me the pain in my foot and the numb feeling I have with the nerves will eventually go away but it might take several more months but at least I am recovering to the point of no more physical therapy and I do not have to go back to the doctor again unless I feel like some thing is wrong. - posted by Lifesazoo on July 08, 2009

When Did I Get Involved In Photography: September 2005

"When you realize the value of all life, you dwell less on what is past and concentrate more on the preservation of the future." -- Dian Fossey

"To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour." --William Blake
