one today is worth two tomorrows

I'm not sure if anyone reads this anymore.

Due partly to the lack of regular updates, and partly due to a natural need to move on once you are over the intense initial shock of an unexpected horrible occurance.
I see, what? Like 45 or so followers?
I think it's just people who signed up when Kathy was in the Land-of-not-knowing
(if she was going to "make it" or not).
Well, if you haven't been reading the few posts I've managed lately, or seen with your own eyes in person, Kathy "made it"!
Her big coming out event was at the silent auction for Madrone Trail Charter School.
It was kind of unintentional, as we left the house without her crutches
(that's right, if you haven't read this in awhile, she's been crutching it!)
Kathy has also been stepping more and more on that left leg of hers
(I grit my teeth everytime she does, for her, imagining how it must feel).
Like she has cankles, she says, but looking down at her calf & ankle, it looks as normal as can be expected.
Like her foot & lower leg is asleep, with a bunch of layers on, making it so you can tell something is going on down there, just not what exactly.
Like the constant dull ache of a toothache in your foot, knee & leg, with unexpected sharp pains to remind you to say your prayers.
Still, things are getting better.
Way better than I could've hoped for this soon.
Cutting the tendons below her toes on her left foot has helped a lot!
It's a bit strange to think that, while my toes are for sprinting up hills, Kathy's toes are only for looking cute.
No more getting stuck in the deep rut.
The lows are more like dips on our way to better times.
(why do I feel the need to knock on wood right now?)
Seriously, I wouldn't trade these days away.
Being with her, as Kathy's smile becomes a regular part of our lives again...

This is getting long.
I thought, if anyone still reads this they may be wondering how Kathy is doing...

Kathy is doing great!
If she herself ever starts to wonder, I tell her the same thing.
As always, Kathy is exceptional by any measure!
