I'm glad to read that you are now "bootless"! That foot is going to be tender for a bit...try to wear comfortable shoes as often as you are permitted to do so when working. It takes a long time for these types of injuries to truly heal up nicely. I'm sure you are enjoying not having to take on and off that boot!
Happy New Year to you and your son! I hope the new year will bring you more happiness and peace.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
