Whew...at least its over!

So the last couple of weeks have been interesting to say the least. I had my foot surgery on November 19th and since then have been hobbling around on crutches and a knee walker thing.


I got my stitches out this past Wednesday, December 2, and was placed into a negative heel shoe. This shoe is designed to take the weight off my foot where the broken bone was removed, a plate and a pin inserted. as much as I was wanting to walk out of the doctors office, this didn't happen. I am still hobbling around on crutches and the knee walker. When the stitches first came out and i attempted to place weight on my foot I could feel the incision pulling, I was too afraid that I was going to open it up if I put pressure on it (not to mention, it HURT to put pressure on my foot!). Just last night I started to put a little more pressure and start "walking" on my foot with the help of crutches. Its really more of a shuffle that I am doing in 1-2 inch increments...I am hoping that I can get rid of the crutches soon, feel more confident walking and get the show on the road. The most important thing is that I be able to walk and dance come April.




I will have to most likely change my shoes that I will be wearing for the wedding. I don't think that the 2 inch heels that I ordered to wear will be the best thing with my foot, especially since the doctor isn't too fond of the idea. I did find some ivory satin isetoner slippers that I am considering as my back up option. Wish I had known about surgery BEFORE I ordered the heels that I can not return, exchange or even wear. OH WELL...
