Candybear,

I know I am safer doing my exercises with the physical therapist, however, only I know how my foot feels.

The physical therapist at the hospital, where I had my surgery, said to be careful or I would have to have surgery on my foot again.

So I'm trying to sort through contradictory information.

I am battling tapes from my earliest childhood. My mother had me when she was 39 years old, and I was constantly being warned to be careful, and watch out to make sure I didn't get hurt.

So this is an emotional issue.

For some reason my broken foot has dug up a bunch of emotional stuff from my past that I thought I had already worked through.

I think you have a lot of great qualitie, but I personally don't find your logical answers helpful.

If I can express how I'm feeling, it frees me up to figure out the best way to solve my problems.
