Well, I was certainly not expecting it, but my cast did come off that weekend! (7-24-10)
That Friday, both of my parents went with me to the doctor's office, leaving my brothers at grandma's house.
That was special, to have Dad with me - his work schedule does not often allow him to come to things like that, but he really wanted to be there - for support, because he knew I was a little discouraged from the news I had received.
Waiting in the waiting room, I had such a peace that came over me - I was prepared for whatever they would say, prepared to have it re-cast and be on crutches for another couple of weeks. I knew it was alll going to be alright - because whatever happened to me, I knew it would be what God had ordained in His Sovereignty, and I trusted in Him.
Therefore he was there when the doctor came in and said, quite unexpectedly, "How would you like to get this thing off today?"
It was really wierd, after having my foot in that thing for so long! The firs thing I wanted to do was wash it off. Daddy offered to wash my foot and ankle for me. The nurse brought in a little basin of warm, soapy water and a washcloth, and he washed it - it was so sweet!
And I surprised my Grandma to pieces when I came in with no cast on! It was a pretty awesome day.
I could hear the Lord saying - "Daughter, have you forgotten that I love surprises? You trusted in Me, and see - I have rewarded you."
So I have had to re-learn to walk . . . So far, I can't stand on my own two feet just yet. ; D
All in God's timing! It may sound strange, but it's so nice just to see my foot again!!!
Thank you again to all the wonderful people who gave me encouragement, prayers and support through this little ordeal, and to my Heavenly Father, who always knows what is best for me, according to His plans. All the glory to Him!!
(Again, my apologies for not posting sooner!)
