Acupuncture
One of the things I worry about is the ability heal quickly. The realities of aging has shown me that it takes forever for even the simplest sprain to mend. On top of that I have the additional problem of poor circulation in my lower extremities. That's the reason that I had three toes amputated in the first place. (For more on this go to galenstories.blogspot.com)
To enhance the healing of my heel, I have taken on acupuncture as a possible aid to this process. I'm not sure if it works but it certainly has not hurt the process. I've had three treatments so far. We are departing for Paris tomorrow so that's the best I can do. Also I've been walking about 3 miles a day with the crutches and I'm getting more adept.
I hope at the end you can throw down your crutches and declare a miracle. Have a great journey!

The pilgrim route is a very good thing, but it is narrow. For the road which leads us to life is narrow; on the other hand, the road which leads to death is broad and spacious. The pilgrim route is for those who are good: it is the lack of vices, the thwarting of the body, the increase of virtues, pardon for sins, sorrow for the penitent, the road of the righteous, love of the saints, faith in the resurrection and the reward of the blessed, a separation from hell, the protection of the heavens. It takes us away from luscious foods, it makes gluttonous fatness vanish, it restrains voluptuousness, constrains the appetites of the flesh which attack the fortress of the soul, cleanses the spirit, leads us to contemplation, humbles the haughty, raises up the lowly, loves poverty. It hates the reproach of those fuelled by greed. It loves, on the other hand, the person who gives to the poor. It rewards those who live simply and do good works; And, on the other hand, it does not pluck those who are stingy and wicked from the claws of sin.
