Shower

Sunday shower

Every Sunday I have the same thing with my bad left foot it curls under and is difficult to place so my good lady flattens it after placement to ensure my ankle doesn’t double under me as I shift from one leg to the other.
What she noticed this week how much better I was able to put the foot this week tan a few months ago , small progress but I’m taking it.

All progress is good progress Mark. Having a flat foot makes everything better. Learn to trust it and just maybe it will stsy flat for you. Enjoy your shower buddy.

Hows your job going? Well i hope.

I had a few steps barefoot this morning, first time in ages ive been able to do that

Good advice Andy, the trust is coming. The Jo b continues on Monday back in to teams meeting s and preparing a power point presentation. Hopefully it will expand to a permanent position.

Job sounds positive Mark and remember to take it steady and rest when you feel tired.
Fingers crossed it becomes permanent - a big psychological lift towards normality.

Keep us posted sir

@mrfrederickson that’s great Mark, hopefully it will continue that way now which should in turn aid your walking. A real positive for you.

Hope you do get a permanent position with your job too.

Yes considering what a winger I am it must be good to seeing me more positive for a change, but always a little bit further as mark billingham would say

@mrfrederickson haha, sorry Mark, I have to agree to disagree with you :smile:, expressing how you feel is not always whinging, we all need to embrace our feelings, the good, the bad and the ugly.

We can sometimes struggle to see the bigger picture with all that has happened, it’s good you’re celebrating your small wins, long may you continue to progress
