I can WALKKKKKK

Surgery went well today. it only took 8 mins! I woke up and my foot was wrapped up as pictured below. I have a little swelling which is to be expected. I have a lil pain when I walk, but its ok. I'm just glad to walk again!!!! My follow up is the 13th. I'll let you guys know how things progress and what happens at my follow up! All smiles this way!!!!

3 Days...

So there are only 3 days before my surgery to have the fixator removed. I am so excited! I really can't wait to walk again. My surgery is scheduled for 1:30pm. I have to be at the hospital at 11:30am. My doctor told me that the surgery should only be about 15 mins. So I am really excited about that....

This past Friday, I went to the nail salon. I asked the technician if he could paint my toe nails because the job I had done was pretty bad. So he painted my toe nails and since he did that I started getting a million questions from everyone in the shop. I just told everyone I had surgery. When they tried to dig deeper I started talking about other things (lol). In the end my toe nails came out pretty good though. My toe is still a little short to me. I really don't care though. It looks a lot better than it did before. I'm grateful...

I was wondering how you guys liked your first pedicures (for those who have completed the surgery) after your surgery was completed. I've only had two pedicures before. One for my prom and one for my wedding. I had to suck it up and get them done. So I was really wondering how you guys liked your first pedicures post brachy surgery. 

Here are some pics:

What I Promised

So I have the x ray. You have to look closely. Its not a very good pic, but bone is actually growing in. Yay!!! I stopped turning on the 13th of July and my surgery is on the 8th of August. So its not quite a month before the fixator gets taken off, but I'm just sooo ready for it to be off my foot. My doctor says scar tissue grows in first, but the x ray does not pick that up so there is a possibility that scar tissue is in there as well. He said he'll know definitely what he is dealing with when he removes the fixator.
