The New Normal

It has been difficult to keep this process of blogging about Braeden's feet going when I feel like there is nothing new to write about. The length between visits to the doctor have become longer and Braeden's feet are where they should be. I look back at the past 14 months and the issue of club feet seems almost non-existent. The only tangible reminder of club feet are the zig-zag scares on the back of Braeden's legs. It is pretty exciting and also weird when one comes to this point in a journey. I feel like I have no idea what to do with myself sometimes. No gearing up for a long drive, no rushing around to get things done before a trip, no anticipation trying to figure out whether or not another surgery is around the corner. The new normal almost feels boring. Then you realize that the hyped up anticipation is not normal and continuing at that pace is exhausting. It is like coming off an amusement ride and wanting to get on another one. I mean amusements rides are fun, but at the end of the day the thrill needs to subside. You need to normalize to gain strength for the next thing life hits you with. So I think I need to be more thankful for normalcy and I'll let you know how that goes!
