Dr. Appt. Tomorrow

No appropriate pic for this post, and I didn't even really know what to title it. We would just like your prayers for a doctor's appointment tomorrow. We travel to Little Rock in the morning for me to see a foot & ankle orthopedic specialist. It's been 3 1/2 years since the car accident, and I am still in daily pain, still having to use the cane, still on narcotic pain meds, and still require help at home with the children and housework. For an extremely independent and formerly-active person, that's very depressing.
A couple years ago I saw the other main "foot & ankle guru" in Arkansas and she basically said she would do an ankle replacement when I was 50. So, we're now seeing the other specialist to see if he has any other solutions. I'm normally not an anxious or nervous person, but I think my uneasiness about tomorrow is the conflict between hope and disappointment. I want there to be an answer, yet in my heart of hearts I am trying not to really expect one. We've been told before that fusion surgery is a possible solution to pain relief, but then I would lose a lot of function (the ankle joint would be permanently "fused" at a right angle). Also, the results are typically short-lived and then amputation is the only other option. As you can see, there has not been any easy answer up to this point, so I'm not even really sure tomorrow is going to be worth our time, but on the other hand we want to exhaust all options, so here we go.... I'll post again tomorrow night with the results. In the meantime, please pray for us tomorrow.
