After a very long week of lifting mom from place to place because of her broken foot, we were relieved to hear the orthopaedic surgeon's prognosis yesterday. Mom doesn't need surgery or a cast but has been fitted with a restrictive boot which she only needs to have on when she walks.
And mom has been walking, albeit very tenderly and painfully, several steps from chair to bathroom, etc. with the aide of her "walker". She still needs constant assistance, but no longer does she need 2 of us to lift her from chair to wheelchair/scooter or toilet.
This is a praise report indeed!
Mom can stay at home while her foot is healing (and her many bruises and bumps) and we are able to care for her more easily (especially good news for my aching back!).
Whew! What a blessing!
Thanks for your prayers... please keep praying because life is not so easy for any of us with these restrictions. And pray for a speedy healing for dear mom.
