Well, I'm 2 and 1/2 hours into my first day back....ready for a nap, and feeling a little exposed (I am so protective of my foot, the little blue boot doesn't offer much comfort)

I'm two weeks and two days post op...still have one pin in my second toe...and now have what I'm calling "floppy foot" (my ankle is week from being bandaged into one postion for two weeks).

I've knocked my toe twice, hurt a litte - more nerves than anything - I guess I'm a spaz!

I just want to go home and hide some more!!! I can do this though....I know I can. I think.

it will be better soon-keep your chin up and your foot! debbie g

Hi Kathie.

Hope today continued to go "not so bad" at work. How does your foot feel this evening? Keep us posted on your progress as I am right behind you.

Today I walked around the outside of my house with my air cast. It felt like I was dragging a ball and chain.Today is the first day I have gone since 8:00 AM without pain pills. Right now I have my air cast off for the hour I am allowed. I am doing some ankle exercises and trying to move my toes. Like you I still have a pin in my second toe.

Hope each day gets a little better for you.

Hugs,
Gidget

Thanks for the psot guys! Work went okay...left a little early so I was home by 5....I am beat!!! It took all I had when I got home to get up the two steps to my house, my arms just didn't want to do it!

I plopped into the recliner for 1/2 hour and just sat and rested, then I took a shower, just ate some dinner and am going to head on in to bed here shortly...I can't wait to lay down :-)

My foot feels pretty good actually, my other leg and my arms are sore, tomorrow morning will be the real test I suppose! But that's why I wanted to go back mid-week...figure it would be could to start with just two days and then be able to have two days off, rather than going right into a full week.

My bosses are being really great through all this, and I am confident that they will be more than understanding if I have days that I just can't make it for a full 8...I figure by Wednesday next week I'll need some extra rest.

I'm still in the blue flat bottom surgical boot - no air cast or anything yet, I wish I had something sturdier, but oh well, each day is a new challenge and I can do this! (that's what I keep telling myself anyway).

Good job going around the house Gidget! I know what you mean about the heavy foot, like I said, my ankle is so week it feels like my foot weighs a ton, when I lift up my leg it just hangs....Its getting better though, already better than it was yesterday.

Driving was weird but I did ok once I found a comfy position to rest my foot. I actually was able to stretch my ankle a little while I was driving.

Good luck all! Keep me posted on your progress too Gidget!

Good night! :-)
