Heres where Im at.
- I am putting more and more weight on my foot - with and without boot. Is that ok? Im really not sure. I have another 2 weeks til I go back for checkup, but I do tend to go with one crutch around the kitchen for instance, as it frees me up to do more. I attempted a supermarket shop the other day without my scooter, and was in AGONY.
- The scars are all healing up beautifully! Ive still a lot of dry and flaking skin on the foot, but rubbing lots of super thick cocoa butter cream in.
- I have to wear a VERY soft sock all the time. I have the same issue with the top of the foot as the last time - nerve damage. My right foot still has massive sensitivity so I suspect that it, and my left foot will not recover from that. But it is bearable.
- I can see that the foot looks to be a lovely shape, even though it already seems to be pronating a bit again - but so did the other one - seems that although I have had the surgery, I still have the genetics to pronate. Yay.... not...... trouble with that is that Im terrified that the feet will fall in again. Ive been assured that this wont happen, but....
- I WANT TO BE DRIVING AGAIN. I feel so so housebound. I want to have more mobility, more independence, more freedom. Hopefully not too long now??
- Im terrified as to what the future holds for me. For so long it was all about waiting for the surgery, but now, Im on the road to where???
So, there you go. Not lots of things, but at this stage, there just isnt much to say - its really the same things over and over.
I will check back in after the 26th - my next appointment with the surgeon. Hopefully moving into a shoe, and starting physio.
