Escape From Castle "Cabin Fever"

I got out today! YEA! It was all thanks to a wonderful friend of mine. She took me to a doctor's appointment and then we went shopping for Christmas stuff. The day was wonderful. I was up and moving around from 10:00am till 4:30pm. Needless to say all that being on my feet made my foot swell. I'm still resting it and it's almost seven thirty. My foot is so sensitive to touch now. When I just rub the top of my foot I can feel the nerve endings tingle throughout my foot...weird...uncomfortable. Just a sock resting on it irritates the skin. I wonder if it is because my skin is so tight or if it is simply because nothing has touched it in a few weeks now. I don't know if I told you this in the last post or not but I can definitely tell that my nerves are getting better. I used to only feel down right past my ankle. The feeling has now spread down almost half way of the length of my foot. YAY! I did make sure to take my vitamins today with my big glass of water. I managed to set up my Christmas Tree and pick my living room up. The house looks so much better.

I noticed I posted an updated picture of the back of my heel but I never talked about it. The pain has subsided from my heel and as you can see it is getting darker. I don't know if that is a sign of it getting worse or better. I figure no pain means it is getting better. I'm still keeping an eye out on that though.

Sleeping SUCKS! Seriously, it is middle of December and every bone in my body wants to be covered by a plush blanket...every bone that is except my bones in my foot. I have just enough feeling in my toes to know that they are cold and just enough feeling in my toes to feel like the blanket is crushing down on each of my little tootsies. I hate it. I get so frustrated just with that simple task that it keeps me up at least another hour until my body is too tired to fight for the blanket to be removed. Laying on my side also helps some, until I can feel the broken bones on each side of my foot throbbing. NORMAL SLEEP WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME!?!  

I took a shower yesterday. Yea...standing ovations are welcome. I was terrified! I waited till later in the day so that hopefully my incisions would have time to kinda air out and maybe dry. I did not let water pour directly over my foot. The splashes and misting from the shower head were enough to make it glossy with water. I was able to keep warmer since I could fully close the door...if you are having a procedure done...seriously think about stuff like that...weather makes a difference. I scrubbed softly (if you just go at it scrubbing it kinda burns) along the top half of my foot (no incisions are at this location). I didn't notice the typically expected dead skin sloughing off. It did feel good to know I was able to wash my foot though. After the shower I was then terrified to put that dagum sock back on. I only wear tight socks that go to my ankle. I couldn't pull the sock all the way over my heel because it would pull to tightly against my toes. Yep...you guessed it...made sleeping super peaceful...not. I did manage to find a few socks today that will be loose enough and long enough to make this more comfortable.

Well that is all for today. Please if you have any questions feel free to leave it below my posts.
