Wilm's deformed foot

The weekend is here. I live in Syracuse, NY and 9 out of 10 days it is ugly outside. Cloudy, gloomy or rain. But for me, living upstairs - with no car to go anywheres - haven't been outside for fresh air since last thursday for a trip to the doctors. Having trouble getting around. I don't know if I have ever brought up the problem of my foot that has been rapidly been on a path of being deformed. The bone has slowly been twisting towards the floor. If you see it, it looks like I walk on the side of my ankle. And if you WALKED on it, it feels like stepping on a bottle cap (with the rough edges on the skin). To top it off, I am very overweight. I can't stand long, I can't walk far, and haven't done any shopping in a couple of years. No grocery shopping, no fairs, no christmas shopping . . only on line. Some think I should just get a wheelchair and get on with it, but I am afraid if I get in one, I may never get out. I live with the pain. I take celebrex. I need my own transportation to get out of my house. The longer I am in here, the more depressed I get. I miss my job so much. I feel free when I am on the road. I may not be able to walk, but my world is so much BIGGER.

What's on your heart and mind today?

 in response to Schmidty...   Thanks for your words of wisdom. I appreciate the thoughts and encouragements. I guess you are right. I do try to think of each day as a new beginning when the good Lord allows me another day here on earth with family and friends. I'm planning a good day for me now. :)

What's on your heart and mind today?

Whats on my mind and heart TODAY? It's almost 9:30 p.m. Monday night. Another day closing down. Just to awaken to try to start another day. If the good Lord lets me wake up, again. . .. . another chance to figure things out. Right now - I am very low on the totem pole. Even on the bad days I used to say to myself . . at least I "HAVE" a job. . . . But right now - I am in limbo - can barely walk . . scared to go downstairs - in case I may not make it back up. and haven't worked since September 25 . . You might say things are kind of the lowest I can remember. But - we have made it. Tomorrow isn't promised to anyone. Family, friends and a good meal! I do give Thanks. Amen

dependable transportation

Can't exactly how I got to this page, but I am here and I try to utilize what comes my way. I have a deformed (disabled) foot. Tis getting worse. Some days I can barely walk. I finally found my dream career, driving public transportation. Who knew? Been there almost 8 years, (had ssi so didn't really need to work, but it is good for my mind , body and soul. Made alot of friends along the way. My car failed me, it was hard to get to and from work without my own car. I need my own transportation to survive. I don't have great credit, but I am faithful to my debts. Just want dependable transportation so I can continue to be employed part time out of the home...
