Ten months have past since my accident and it is amazing how far I have come. I wish I could move faster, but, healing is progressing well. I am walking more each week and the pain is getting lesser and lesser. I am not having to take pain meds as much as before.
I am working losing weight to lessen the impact of arthritis. I am down 21 pounds as of today. Pray that I can lose much more than this!
I will have to go back to work soon. My disability insurance is aggressively working to stop my monthly payments. They are so eager to get you money for their policies, yet they are more than eager to stop paying benefits!
My next doc appt is in August. I believe at that time, my surgeon will release me from his care.
I continue to do PT each week. It has been the biggest help. I will have to get some shoe inserts soon for my right foot to correct my walk.
Thank you so much for your prayers. God is so good and He continues to heal me and answer my prayers of healing!

My Rehab Verse
Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:30-31

I am so proud of you Russ! You've lost 21 pounds...congratulations!!!I got some inserts for my foot at New Balance in West Little Rock. Be ready to drop some $$ on them though, but they totally help my foot feel better and I'm walking straight again! We're still praying for you!!
Wow. I can't believe it's already been 10 months. You are doing so well. It's great to hear you so positive about things. That's awesome about your 21 pounds!
