Update on my recovery
It has been 10 weeks since my car accident and 8 weeks since I had surgery to repair my damaged right foot. I had a severely comminuted and displaced calcaneus (heel bone) as well as a comminuted(shattered) lateral malleous of my fibula. The surgeon was able to rebuild my calcaneuswith a plate and screws. I also had a subtalar arthrodesis to ensure that i would be able to walk again. I'm currently on my second cast for another 4 weeks. If all looks well at my next appointment, I will be placed in an air boot for up to 6-8 weeks. I'm still non weight bearing for another 6ish weeks and then slowly move back to full weight bearing. I will have many months of PT to get back to whatever my new normal will be. The unknown of where I will be at the end of this is the hardest part. I'm hopeful that I will be back to a new normal with a relatively functional foot. The dr has said it was a significant injury and it will take time to completely heal.
I wish I had a date to tell you that I will be back to baking, but it's still too early in the healing process to say. I appreciate everyone that has reached out with well wishes and good thoughts. I really miss being at the market and seeing everyone.
Enough said, just wanted to update everyone and know that I miss each of you.

I have been putting this off for as long as I can, but I must now make the announcement.
On May 9th I was in a car accident (not my fault) that unfortunately resulted in a very damaged right foot. I have surgery scheduled for Wed May 22nd to rebuild my foot which is a good thing. The bad thing is that I am going to be non weight bearing for at least 12-14 weeks, followed by additional time for PT to get back some function in my foot. I have been told by the ortho that I will likely get 60-70% function back in that foot but it will never be what is was before the accident.
Part of my fibula was shattered and my heel bone was broken in half and displaced. The Dr will use plates, screws and possible grafts to put things back together the best he can.
I have currently pulled my website for now. Once I am thinking clearly after surgery, I will go through my inventory and put what i have in stock back online. Unfortunately, after that sells out,it will be a good bit before I will be able to stand and bake at the level I was before the accident. My daughter and husband will be pulling the orders, so please be patient as we work to get them filled.
I feel like I have rambled on, I apologize. I also had a small head wound and have just felt jumbled with all that this incident has brought with it.
Please know, it is my intention to make it back, it may just be awhile before I return full time.
I thank each of you for your support over the years and I'm really sorry for any inconvenience this causes.
I really wish none of it happened but it has and I will try to get back as quickly as possible.

Thanks for all that have put in an order so far- I really appreciate it.
