Whine

Ok this is going to be a whine post. It's been almost one week since my foot surgery. I can't like this anymore!!!! Actually it's not all that bad, well, it's not as bad as the c-section and the hysterectomy I went through. But it's still a pain in the ass. My foot itches. I'm getting fat from sitting around. I'm also getting fat from eating just because I'm bored.

I'm supposed to keep the bandages and wraps on my feet for two weeks. I then go back to the doctor, he removes the stitches, changes the bandages and then I can start driving again, take care of my horses etc. I'm ready. Last night my left foot, (it's the one with the big lump on it in the picture) started really bugging me so I took off all the bandages just to look at it, then wrapped it up again really fast. Wow, I should have taken a picture. I can't believe how much he cut open my foot just for that little lump! The incision is probably at least 4 inches long, maybe longer. I'll have my camera with me when I go to the doc to get the bandages off.

My right foot swells a lot so at night when I'm trying to go to sleep, it just sort of throbs. The bandages are tight because it's so swollen at night. I just want to take all this crap off my feet, I can't wait. Once the bandages are off, then if the foot is swollen at night at least I won't have something tight wrapped around it to make it feel worse!!

Whine...... one more week.

Foot surgerys are horrid. I had one on the arch of my foot because I had some glass deeply imbedded in it. Yuck. Hope yours feel better soon!
