Day 10, still kicking...

I'm on day 10 now and I love the way that number keeps increasing!!  I want to thank you all for your kind words yesterday, they go along way in uplifting my mood because its kind of a rollercoaster ride right now.  I'm still not mobile because of my foot (&$^%##) and because my computer is on a different level in my home i cant get to it often enough and I would rather be in my comfort room right now.  I wish I could post more but I just cant keep going up and down the stairs (no energy & crippled) Otherwise I would be on the site more often. I still thank you all and I can't wait to talk to you all more but for now I'll just check in once or twice a day.

Just want to say that this is the most difficult thing I have done in my life.  It's still hard, I think without the gout I would be smiling a bit more today.  The pain in my foot has been so excruciating at times I didn't know what to do. I've had gout before but it never felt this bad because I had those little demon pills to always dull the pain. This made CT so hard for me and I still came through.  I cant believe it. I just kept plugging forward and I have you guys to thank for it!  For those of you who are in the middle of the fight right now, DONT GIVE UP!!!! You too can do this too,  I really hope this can help someone because i know alot of people here helped me. Wouldn't have been able to do it without ya'll. Thanks again.
