Feet!

This week has been devoted to my feet! I decided last friday with Dr A. the foot orthopedic that I see that it was time for our first foot surgery. We did on Wednesday. The beginning of the week I spent time in and out of the clinic and hospital doing all my presurgery things--EKG, chest xray, blood work, visit with primary ect. Everything went well. As you can see from my previous post, that surgery went well!! It has been SOOO encouraging and such an answer prayer to have this happen. This proves that my infusions are working and that my body is getting stronger and stronger in the this nasty battle of mine. Since surgery was sorta of "different" we all were not really sure what recovery would be like. Needless to say it has been going well just a little unique becuase it is both feet. My mom has had Darla and my sister my Megan has Olive which is great!! Darla would be very upset by my wrapped up feet and try to kiss/lick and would attack my lovely orhtopedic shoes and crutches. Olive would be curious at first then probably leave me alone. Every day since wednesday I am walking better and better. When I use the crutches I can get wherever I need to, it just I HAVE To wear my wrist braces. My thumbs dislocate and wrists "shift" when I use them becuase of the amount of support I use on them - boo RA!! If im around the house now, I can waddle like C3PO to get around the kitchen and in the bathroom. Its VERY funny. You should try to walk without moving toes 2,3,4 - its tricky! Each toe is wrapped up and separated which makes my walk so cool. But hey who doesn't like star wars, right? I have not been doing much but keeping my feet elevated and icing the toes. I see the doctor on Thursday for my postop. So... YEA for a succesful surgery!!! and here is hoping recovery keeps going well.
