Back in the saddle/boots

Jenna did great with her surgery.  She is wearing a boot on her left foot to protect it while it heals.

This past Thursday while walking down the stairs, her other foot - the right one ... the one that had surgery on May 7 that required re-breaking a bone, taking off a tendon and stitching it to the bone and 6 more weeks in the wheelchair - had a terrible pain while walking down the stairs.  She describes it as a ripping feeling.  Her tendon and ankle area is very sore.

The doctor put her back in the boot.  Now she is sporting two boots - AGAIN.  Poor girl!

He will see her tomorrow.  He says it could be the tendon detaching from the bone ... or it could be scar tissue breaking up.  We hope it is the scar tissue.
