I'm not very accustomed to public transit and didn't think it was a good idea to try to get used to it when I already feel so out of place... I greatly appreciate your offer though! I feel good about where I'm headed-- it's a long journey yet but I"m not going anywhere :) Kathy-

I feel good about where I’m headed– it’s a long journey yet but I”m not going anywhere :)

You're gong out to Gresham....sorry, that is a ways....are you getting rides from friends? I used the Tri-Met LIFT service and it's helpful, if you don't mind spending extra time in transit... Still, I am really glad to be driving again. If you do use the LIFT service, let me know, I have a book of tickets left over & would send them to you. I was just reading back over your experiences--you've been dealing with this for a very long time. I so hope that you are on the way to good healing and a strong, sturdy leg. Also, thanks for posting the photos, they were cool to look at. Glad that there was no cast today… You’re gong out to Gresham….sorry, that is a ways….are you getting rides from friends?

I can definitely tell the circulation has increased :) It is nice to be free of that cast... Although the threat still remains I have to go back Monday as this is apparently a crucial stage in the healing process for me. Kathy, Nope! No cast but another long drive out to Gresham on Monday for me. It sounds like you're doing so well, getting to drive again especially! I miss my '88 Camaro so much. Phil,

Kathy,

Has to be great to be free of the cast!! With such low circulation in the area of the tendon, I always wondered if a little heat would open the blood vessels and promote faster healing.
