Today I am thankful that we were able to go to see my favorite podiatrist (#181) and that my foot is not broken. (#182) Dr. H put a wrap on my foot and leg called an unna boot that constricts and brings down swelling which consequently decreases pain. I am definitely thankful to be in less pain. (#183) After wrapping my foot and leg in the unna boot, he wrapped it in an ace bandage and has me wearing a walking boot while still using crutches. A lot of different measures to hopefully speed healing of the tendon that I sprained.
I am also thankful that the girls were able to go to fine arts with the youth group this year. (#184) I regret not being able to go, but am thankful that doesn't mean they can't. The girls spent several hours working together in the kitchen to prepare food for Angelica to eat today and tomorrow before heading out to meet up with the youth group.

It's nearing the end of the day and I am realizing that I am not going to be able to give anything away today. With my busted foot and the girls away at a youth event, I am very much stuck in the house. I have a few things in mind that I could give away, but cannot physically do anything about that. I haven't decided yet if I will give those things away later and count them for today, tack another day on the end, or if I will just give myself grace for today knowing that as of today, day 17 of a 40 day goal, I have given away 24 items. I have also wondered many times in the last two days if time is something I could count since I have spent quite a few hours helping a neighbor in that time period, but I think that although it is a good thing to give away, for the purposes of my Lenten goal, it doesn't count. .
