So glad you are doing good. Besides good therapy for your foot its good therapy for your mind. Don't you love it when you can sew away and all the worldly troubles no longer exist for that time. I remember once in hospital my doctors (I was working on a cross stitch and he told me "Just sew your way out of here". And I did.

I broke my right ankle in July and when I was fully healed, my doctor said I needed PT. I asked if a treadle sewing machine would help. He said its great for ankles! So I've been using my treadle as much as possible. I've added pictures of one of my treadles in her cabinet. The thingy clothespinned on is a head light and it works great. The pretty dog you see in the picture is Molly,my golden retriever.
1889 Singer coffin top treadle cabinet, works wonderfully.
