So much has happened since I began this blog, I got married, I moved house again ! I've changed jobs, I've learnt to ski to name a few positives but I guess what you really want to know is.......... how is that foot ???
Well mostly it is fine. I'm due my second DEXA scan since I discovered the Osteopaenia & since the fractures so I honestly don't know how the bone density or arthritis situation is.
But what I can tell you is my darkest fears did not materialise & I can most days wear high heels for a while with no significant pain (Maybe a vain positive but to me aged 38 & single it was important). I can drive my car (manual or stick shift to the US readers) for long distances with no swelling (I needed to do this to continue with my career). I conquered my fear of suffering another fracture to be able to ski ALL the way down the mountain & I have managed to jog distances of 3-4 miles. I may not be the fastest runner, or the most dynamic skier, or be able to wear 6 " Laboutins but life is alot better than I feared it might be. I can only say to anyone who finds themselves facing this scary unknown that is a Lisfranc fracture to hang in there, because it will improve.
I don't know how long it will be until I start to experience pain or discomfort that starts to limit my mobility/activity. I expect & accept that this is inevitable though, in the meantime I'm going to carry on trying to fend it off for as long as I possibly can !
Best Wishes & Happy New Year all xxx
