Warning--picture of foot with stitches
OK, since Zen dared me...here you go. Pre-op, one week post-op, and about one month post-op (I think). Last picture was taken a few minutes ago. Oh, the lengths I'll go to for my fans.

48 years on that foot. Of course, not much walking for the first two years...
It just got so painful that John told me, "Do something or stop complaining" (He insists he was much gentler and kinder, but that was the upshot). My hips hurt so badly that I couldn't sleep through the night, the foot hurt all the time, etc.
I do feel much better. It's amazing, though, how long it's taken. This week, I notice I can walk at my usual zippy pace, and it's not *as* swollen at the end of the day. I still take an Aleve every 12 hr, and Tylenol off and on.
Arn'cha glad I came back to TE and hijacked TD with Tales From the Foot Crypt?!?

Yup. We are glad. Even with macabre illustrations.
Those are some pictures, kiddo. Glad you're on the mend."My predominant feeling is one of gratitude.

it's nice to see someone healing. there was no blood or anything.
i think my son's toes are kind of like yours but he doesn't have the big bump that you had. we're glad you're back, stitches and all.
here's the only toes picture i have of my son.Last edited by Biciclista; 05-06-2009 at 07:27 PM.

Wanna see what the scar looks like 25 years later? I was 19 when I had both done.
(doing the Math, hmm more than 25 years... 30 years...)

My new manager wants to meet to discuss my "career goals". Is retirement a career goal?

Damn right it is! Not sure if a manager would think so, but I sure do. Originally Posted by snapdragen

yeah, are supposed to now list things we do to better ourselves. I listed a painting workshop and cycling and my boss got all fussy with me. Originally Posted by snapdragen

He made me take them out.
When I was having babies, breast feeding was treated like outrageous behavior. I was one of the only moms to be that was going to "try" it when i had #1 son in the ward that weekend. (didn't have #2 son in hospital)
I am worried about the future of America where women can't give birth and can't breast feed! the statistics are incredibly frightening to me.Last edited by Biciclista; 05-08-2009 at 11:17 AM.
