To those how have known me for the last couple of years you would know that I am such a graceful (yeah right) person while walking - I have sprained my ankle three times! After being seen by a number of orthopedic doctors who couldn't find anything wrong with me other than being less than graceful and having hyper-mobility. For those who don't have it or have never heard of it, I am basically more limber than most people. Only way it has ever helped me was to be more flexible in Yoga! Anyway - I was referred to Tulane Medical Center and to a wonderful physician by the name of Dr. Rodriquez.
After speaking to me for a few mintues and watching my oh so graceful gait down the hall, he diagnosed me and has prescribed surgery!
Not for the faint of heart, he is going to basically remove my heel bone and realign it and tighten all my ligaments. After 8 lovely weeks of being pampered and have to lug the boot that will be from my knee to my toes I will hopefully be free of the pain that has nagged me for a year and a half.
Now after that long and not so detailed story, my question is: I will be able to return to work after 2 weeks or so but how do I continue to build up my networking and generate some referrals?
