Loss

Lost my best friends mom today.
I have no words for how this feels.

Happy Birthday

D's birthday was over the weekend, but my computer was down so I was not able to post. Happy Birthday D. I miss him like no one else from my past. I wish I had some contact with him.
Today is a long time friend's birthday, though like D I have lost contact with him.

Double-take

Awhile back I thought I saw D, when I did the guy did a huge double-take. I was in my car, he was making a turn past me, and kept looking at me. I know I had pulled too far over the line at the stoplight but he was the only one who looked at me like that of all the other drivers. This guy looked so much like D, even was driving the same truck as when I knew him.
I know it is possible that the guy was just looking at me because of the position of my car, even if it was him.
If it was him, I wonder what was going through his head.

I remembered

I don't know what made me remember it, but I remembered the other day something D and some of his friends did.
Knowing I was afraid of the woods in the neighborhood some of our friends lived in he and several friends were hanging out at one of the friends houses. I was waiting for another friend at her boyfriends house. She was taking forever, as usual, D and his friends, including the brother of my friends boyfriend whose house it was. Instead of taking the road they went the shorter route and went through the woods, knowing the sounds would freak me out. I don't remember if they needed anything at that house or were just doing it to scare me.

Him

I think I saw D yesterday while out. Can't be sure it was him, but it looked like him, a lot.

Week 2-week 3

I am into week 3 now. Have a lot of pain. More than I expected. I guess I figured that as time went pain would get better, not worse, but then again, I really had no idea how this was going to go.
I have a test this week ordered by my GI, and then see my orthopedist next week. He will decide if I will get the cast off or keep it on and when or if I have surgery if or if that is something to decide later.

First week

Had surgery last month, recovering well from that. Feeling mostly better, one day at a time, taking care of my health and the complications that came from the surgery and that diagnosis.
In the fall my foot started hurt, odd symptom, used a brace I had from a previous injury, saw the Urgent Care doctor after about a week as it wasn't getting better. Diagnosed it as a sprain. No big deal, being diabetic, sprains and such can be slow to heal. Just before Halloween I broke my ankle while out with a friend. Stupid moment, nothing that I could have prevented. Luckily it wasn't worse. After 2 months it wasn't healing, again not unexpected due to being diabetic and where the break was. Doctor sends me for further tests to see what exactly is going on and find out I have a coalition in my ankle. Extremely rare, something I was born with. And the reason why I have broke and sprained this ankle/foot so many times since I was a child, why little sprains take longer to heal and hurt worse, why simple turns break it. The first symptom in the fall, before the break was a symptom of this coalition, not a sprain, though most doctors commonly diagnose complications of this as sprains.
Had to see a specialist, (that took some time getting an appointment), so I spent 5 months in a boot, 5 weeks in a brace and now in a cast, for at least 4 weeks, along with crutches. Possibly will be longer, depending on how my ankle responds to the cast. Still my have to have surgery to fix this coalition. I am now on my first week in the cast and on crutches.
