Yep, two boots!

Look at me... I am wearing two shoes--well boots. I treated myself--might as well protect my lovely new scars and cover them all up while I am at it too! It is truly weird to be walking on two feet again! I am re-learning how to use my right leg which is also shorter than my left, so my stride is less strideful and more gimpy. At this point I don't care! I am just thrilled to be able to wear pants and socks that are not anklets! Now, I am able to ware skirts because I want to not because I have to. Isn't life grand?

Pieces of the past and hope for the future

I found these pictures on my camera and thought I would load them up on the blog. The VAC is the machine in the middle and the right photo is what really saved my life. VAC stands for Vacuum Assisted Closure--it sucked out the bad stuff and helped to regenerate good healthy tissue. Look at the last time my right ankle looked normal! At least there is proof.
