I did not anticipate hearing the doctor tell me that I did not need to schedule a follow-up appointment would make me feel so good.
I had my first double gastroc release surgery for my heel pain on January 27, 2023, which proved unsuccessful. This had me in double boots for 12 weeks. I had my first knee replacement due to complications from being in 
boots in late May 2023 and my second knee replacement in early October 20203 due to a floating bone spur. December 20, 2023, I had another Achilles repair where they severed the tendon, shaved the bone spur, and anchored the
tendon back into the heel. I did the other heel, the same procedure as in December, in February 2024, and have finally been cleared and released.
I went to the car and sat for a few minutes, reflecting on my community’s tremendous support, both prayer and meals. I could not have made it through without my village.
It was a long year, but I experienced kindness, goodness, and abundant blessings during struggle and hardship. Have you ever been given a season of hardship that, looking back, you can call an unexpected season of goodness?
It will be good to get my muscles strong again! ❤️ trish
