Everyday, I can tell Tom gets a little better. Yesterday, took alot out of him though. Going to the doctor and having x-rays --- it is alot of work to move around on crutches - plus his foot is down to travel - all the blood flows there and it starts to throb. So by the end of the day he was in alot of pain and just exhausted.
Most of this morning he was still in alot of pain. This afternoon and evening have been better.
His biggest complaint is that there is no comfortable way to put his foot that doesn't hurt.
Still, we are blessed. Absolutely blessed. God has been wonderful. I know my husband doesn't always SEE it but we have been so blessed. It is not cancer! Thank God! What a blessing! This happened at a time when our family is doing less - yes, we still have alot going on but during hockey season this would have been really hard to handle. God's timing is always perfect! What a blessing! Tom hasn't always taken time to just rest, reflect, study His word - and what an amazing blessing God has given him - time to get to know Him, time to read His word! What an amazing blessing!
Thank you all for praying. We so appreciate the prayers. Please continue to pray for healing and for the pain to diminish.

I'm so grateful it wasn't "worse" --of course it's very challenging for him and you til he recovers from the surgery---since it's hard for him to get around on these doctor visits, etc--any thoughts to using a wheel chair?
Well you know how men are - he didn't feel he needed a wheel chair. Until we were all the way down the hallway heading to x-ray - and it was a very long way. He managed to get to x-ray and then I asked him if I should go get that wheelchair -- he finally agreed that yes a wheelchair might be a good idea. (Ya think!) Poor guy. It is hard to admit to ones self that one is now in the 'disabled' category - even if it is only temporary. It does give a new appreciation for those who have to do this all the time.
