So what's been going on?

Well, to tell the truth, not much.

Things have not change much since my last post back in April. I'm doing the same level of caching, walking, and working.

Finding shoes is becoming far more difficult. I was doing fine with New Balance 1xxx shoes, but they started feeling less comfortable so I tried a pair of Brooks and they have not held up well. I now can't wear them more than a few days in a row before stuff starts hurtin'. So it's back to the drawing board.

My feet and ankles go through longer cycles of good/bad days now, too. For a week or two they will feel like hell, then all of a sudden they feel fine for a week or two. I'm trying to determine if I push them too hard while they feel good and resting them when they feel bad is what's making them then feel better. In other words, am I causing this lousy cycle?

But as each pain cycle comes around, I think harder and longer if it is nearing time to trade in one of these feet. If I do, I'll start with the right one. But that is one heckuva decision to make and NOT one that can be taken back! I've read a lot about living with BTK (Below The Knee) amputations and sometimes it sounds like it'd be a blessed relief. Then other stories make me terrified of what may come as a result. So I guess I just keep reading, thinking, and praying until I just can't take it any more or something happens to force the issue.

But all that being said, we are just going on with our lives. Some days I can get around better than others, but in any case, I just keep on with whatever we wanna do. I figure if it hurts, so what? We all have something we have to deal with, right?

I hope you are dealing well with your stuff!

God bless!
