LOL – I understand about the walking away from the birthing scenes!
For myself, even though I am well beyond childbearing age, each birth scene brings me back to my own experiences in childbirth.
Had my latest doc appt yesterday, and I’m well on-track. I even graduated to transitioning into the next stage of foot wear: surgical shoe!
Yippee!

Call me fooled; I was only focusing on feet placement. 🙂 We really enjoyed “Call the Midwife.” I had to walk away from nearly every birth until my wife said I could return, but I really enjoyed the time capsule of each period. Fortunately the show is still current, so you have lots more to still view. Enjoy! And also heal well.

Oh, gee…I get it. But it still doesn’t diminish the severity of your own situation…
Glad you enjoyed the myriad uses of the term ‘specialty feet’.

It sounds like you are making super good use of your time in the boot. Enjoy this downtime and get well soon, my friend.

I love your play on “specialty feet.” Nicely done! Good luck with your quilting and the rest of your recovery. I hear you about having perspective. I had a very serious accident many years ago, injuring my right leg. The doctors had been tempted to amputate but fortunately they did not. I was only 23 at the time. I was left with a slight limp which would have been worse if I hadn’t propelled myself to overcome the insult of the injury by becoming more physically active than I was previously. About ten years later I enrolled in college and walking the halls to my class when I spotted a young woman, probably early twenties, on crutches talking to a professor. She was wearing denim cutoffs and her left leg had been amputated at mid-thigh. I looked away, not wanting to stare yet wanting to stare, to take in this woman, standing straight and confident. I shrunk at the memory of how sorry I had felt for myself during my recovery and beyond. Perspective is very important. Thanks for the reminder 🙂

Thanks for the subtly placed reminder to rest the foot…I’m kind of lax at times.
I’m relieved to hear you, too, are taken aback by those tiny flying geese…

In reply to Andy.

Did nothing! I had routine bunion/hammer toe surgery done that the doctor deemed ‘medically necessary’ but wasn’t approved by insurance 5 years ago citing it as ‘elective/cosmetic’ unnecessary surgery regardless of the Doctors orders…Me, who wore Earth Shoes religiously back in the day and only wear pumps/2 inch heels at most during special occasions!!! Thankfully, our new insurance plan gave us full coverage with lowest deductible ever! (yep, I outlined this here because as a Brit, I know it’s a mystery to you about our dumb health coverage/lack of coverage – it’s a mystery to me, too…sigh…and I’m relatively healthy).
Ya know even with the boot, I can walk better than before the surgery!
As for ‘our’ Doctor – yes, where I’m at in the series, Clara is his current companion. Although I first met her in season 6 as the ‘human’ Dalek. The best episode from that season IMHO. I think the Ponds were getting bit stagnant (yep a purposeful pun) 😀
