Tom has been rather down about his progress. He doesn't have the mobility in his foot. He had pain in his foot for 9 months prior to diagnosis and now hasn't walked on it for 3 months. He just feels he hasn't walked normal for about a year and isn't sure his body knows how to do it at this point.
So he called his doctor and asked to be sent to a physical therapist. His doctor agreed but didn't suggest anyone in particular. We called a friend who recently had knee surgery and had to go through physical therapy. She really liked who she went to. Tom called that therapist and has an apt. for tomorrow afternoon. He is looking forward to having a plan and help in his healing. He feels like he has been just stuck lately and not progressing at all.
Tom also has been rather down as he doesn't feel like mobility is happening as fast as he wants. He gets alot of anxiety when he just sits in a chair. It has just been a hard recovery and he needs something positive to show him he is moving forward. Please pray that the physical therapist gives him hope and gives his a plan with goals (short term and long term) so he can see progress as he meets the various goals. Just pray for his spirits to be lifted. (Thank you!)
