It's tough to get Melissa down. In fact it seems as though the only thing than can accomplish such a feat is a doctors demands.
After 12 weeks of rehab for tendonitis in her achilles Dr. Justesen, still not pleased with results, decided that Melissa was to wear a boot for 6 more weeks. Reluctant to give up some freedom but anxious to find healing, she consented.
The four weeks provided for many roller coasters but in the end Melissa emerged with good news that things were healing. Through it all Melissa showed great patience as she endured a trial that seems to continue to assert itself in her life time and time again (ACL surgeries, etc.). It was also touching to watch ward members and neighbors demonstrate charity in our behalf by providing meals, taking turns making phone calls, and even donating roller walkers to make movement easier.
