Put your feet up...and relax?!

I went in for foot surgery on Friday. My right foot had a bunnion that was starting to encroach on my other toes, and it also had 3 mallet toes that would likely give me problems in the future. They have corrected it all and my foot has been up since then. And yes...once the surgical block wore off at 5am...it REALLY hurt! That pain is a lot better now. Six weeks non weight bearing is not an easy thing for a busy mom to do. And I haven't yet figured out exactly how to do what needs to be done as far as errands go. With the help of my little scooter (or knee walker as some call it), I have been managing things on the main floor pretty ok. I have had to let a few things slide...or be done later by the hubby, and have even managed to get the boys to pitch in a little extra here and there. So far so good. I only have five more weeks to go! (Not to mention fixing the toes on the other foot before the end of the year! If I'm going to be down, might as well get the feet completely taken care of..right!?) On the up side..I'll get a lot of books read, and I can do my Christmas shopping online!

Warning...if you get grossed out easy...do NOT look at the picture below. This was taken at the Doctors office on Tuesday.

  1. I have a little care package for you...I'll bring it tomorrow. That looks so painful! I hope it helps your foot in the long run though. Hang in there!
