@becsbuddy @rosemarya I've been seeing your posts and wishing I could walk. I have been sidelined for about the last 3 months because of a broken ankle, and I can tell you now that I am starting to walk again. Yippee! It's baby steps and I kind of walk like a little one who is trying to stay in balance. The sprain that happened along with the dislocation and fracture is still healing and painful, so I tend to walk flat on my foot and don't push off normally. I am supposed to be able to walk unassisted at my next followup appointment for my surgeon, so I am working on it. It's still tiring, and my foot still swells and gets painful, but it gets a little better each day. I did a lot of baking today, mostly seated on a stool by the counter and just having my foot in a down normal position makes it swell, and I did takes some steps to use the sink, but it feels good to do something normal for a change and I have some peach pies to show for my efforts. I also did some canning of peaches, and made blue berry muffins and Coconut macaroons and all gluten free.

@jenniferhunter, What great news that you are beginning to walk more now! Baby Steps count big time and any success is definitely worth a celebration. That said (and meant, very big grin!), How about sending over some of that delicious peach pie with a few blue berry muffins thrown in with a couple of macaroons for desert???? Wow! Is this what normal feels like for you??? Amazing Gracie! A new destination for walkers: Jennifer's house!!!
