So Not Excited About This

Here I am, so ready for this awesome wonderful experience. After the bandage was removed I had a quick talk with Dr. H. There was another guy that came into the room with him. I thought he was a student doing some observations. Dr. H let me know that I needed to keep pressure off of the back of my heel and that he would wrap my foot himself this time. He pressed up against the bottom of my foot to see it better and I thought I was going to scream. The pressure he put on the pad of my foot really helped me realize that my foot was STILL BROKEN. Dr. H then left the room and then the nurse began to remove the strips. This felt like my foot was on FIRE! And now on to the really good stuff.

(This is the sore that is on top of my foot. Man I have them EVERYWHERE!)

She let me know that the two sides tend to hurt the worse because the stitch has to come all the way through the long incision. She started with my toes first and I'm not kidding you I was trying my hardest not to scream in that office. I was cursing under my breath and crying. It was horrible. I finally asked her if we could take a couple minutes and she was great. She waited until I said I was ready to continue. Trust me I thought about calling it quits and saying that I would come back another day for the others.

This is me trying to hold it together. When she went to grab the incision for the Tailor's Bunion I screamed so loud! Another nurse came in just to help hold my leg down so that I wouldn't jerk it away from her. Needless to say I eventually made it through the last one and not a second too soon.

The next appointment will be January 2nd. I was told to begin putting weight on my foot but that I have to keep wearing the boot. I can take the bandage off next Thursday and I can get it wet but not soak it. YAY! The other guy in the room ended up being someone who works with a pharmacy. He is going to send me some supplements to help with my nerve regeneration and pain. I will also be getting a scar cream and a pain cream. I hit the jackpot!

So glad that horrible part is over.
