I'm walking the floor over you.

Nothing changes.  I am still treated like a second hand citizen in my home. Except now I can walk..I was told to walk and eventually lose the crutches. I kind of like Ethel...my crutch. But the dogs still don't move...I walk the floors and step over the dogs...and even rolling my little cart over the dogs ears didn't seem to matter...So I am walking the floor. And it actually feels weird not good. With the new boot which is larger and more bulkier than the other boot, I feel as if I have a large heel on the bottom of my right leg. I tried using it to run the pedal today when I played at the Nursing home..the boot doesn't move very well.  Of course the piano was out of tune and no amount of using a pedal will help that.  So I did get out today...to the assisted living home in Rochester.  It felt good but I told the story about 5 times.  I could have changed the story every time but there are some pretty sharp gals,,they would have tripped me up in my storytelling.  So other than my toe swelling and feeling odd, and  I kicked an ottoman, unintentionally of course, I am doing better than I thought. I did try to out some weight in my leg while I was changing this morning and I didn't fall over, and it didn't hurt too bad, and I didn't cry,  that was encouraging... Now we will see what a week of traveling and being up and about does. I speak in Boston this weekend at a ladies retreat. The irony of it all is I speak on Fruitful and faithful or fearful and frustrated. I guess God thought I needed a large object lesson...and I made plans to travel around the east coast and visit...won't be doing that either except at the mercy of some friends who can drag me around with the three extra days I booked the ticket for so I could enjoy Boston and Vermont. So God has someone he wants me to talk with or listen too. I will be excited to see which God had in mind.  In the meantime, I am still walking the floor and hopefully not over the dogs but simp,y around them.. Of course they couldn't consider moving,,,,nope..they are just dogs....
