One Week Since Suture Removal
Today is the one-week anniversary of suture removal, so here's a comparative photo from one week ago. Lots of change in one week!
First Hike 
Well, this won't impress the mountain goats among us, but on Kilauea, Hawaii I hiked intermittently at least one mile over crunchy compact and irregular dirt and lava gravel trails: through the Thurston Lava Tube and back and to numerous look-outs along the Chain of Craters Road.
I focused my attention on trying to apply weight to the ball of my foot in a normal stride and trying to avoid rolling the foot outward to avoid pain. I am not good at welcoming pain, however beneficial it may be. Although bruising on the top of my foot is nearly gone, that is still where I feel the pain of my sandals, hence the flapping straps to relieve pressure. The majority of pain is centered on the ball of my foot. Perhaps today's challenges will help it release and perform normally.
