FOOT UPDATE...1 YEAR It was March 20, 2013, when I walked into my foot doctors office, and taken out in a wheelchair! I Charcot Foot...which was at least 10-12 broken bones in my foot. I spent my last 2 1/2 months of my teaching career in a wheelchair. I was basically laid up for 5 months, and in a boot for 8 months. I retired from teaching after 33 years, and released from serving in the Mt. Mount Timpanogos Temple after serving 16 years. I was facing possibly many surgeries, and I thought my life was over! I retired on May 30. Everything worked out (since I missed the deadline) even having insurance after my 6 years of insurance ended...cuz Im so young! I was called at the end of July to be in the Stake Relief Society Presidency. My Stake President set me apart, and blessed my that I would be healed! I never had surgery! Summer was LONG! But, at the end of August, I was given the green light to drive! The next month, my doctor said I could go to BYU football and Jazz games! And my life has been better ever since! Thats why I like to post where I am...because I was cooped up soooo long! I love the retired life! Its hard to start walking after I have sat a long time...but after about a dozen steps, its all good. I wear shoes that have a lot of cushion to help with the support. I use my fancy cane when getting up in the middle of the night, and I limp slightly. I can live with that! Thanks to everyone who helped transport me everywhere in my non-driving days..Lori Willis Chadwick, Don Beckstrand, Annalea Warwood, Ashley Mitchell Kelly, Dixie Howard Mitchell, Condita Washburn, Adonna Iverson , Renae Allen Reese, and anyone else I forgot! Also, all my school friends, and especially my 5th grade kiddos! See you at the Retirement Open House on May 5 for me, Don Beckstrand, and Diane Walter!
