Round 2

Soooo...needed to be there at 11.30am.Checked in and they told me my op would be at 12.30pm. They actually didn't take me to theatre until gone 2pm. I could not stop crying because  I hate the feeling when you go under so much.  I woke up at about 3.45pm in recovery and in agony! Where as the other foot I had no pain on waking other than a headache.  They gave me Tylenol and then morphine which eventually worked. I had to ask for the black shoe, the woman was like oh you want one of those? I said well of course, I had one last time. Did she honestly expect me to walk on just a bandaged for after having it sliced open, bones cut out, sawn off and pinned etc lol.

 Went to X-Ray and then home to bed. Dinner was a tofu takeout which was yummy. I didn't sleep ALL night! Went off at 6am until 8am. I can still feel the morphine. 

No pain so far as I'm managing it better than last time and I have Tramacet this time and Gabapentin too. Determined not to have a break through. I can even walk! Badly but still. I'm so glad it's over! 

I have to attend the fracture clinic on Tuesday 7th and Tuesday 14th April.

All gone!

So today was the left foots turn! Photos before and in the shoe. Too tired to write up the details, will do tomorrow though. Right foot is 12 weeks post op today. 

Confirmed

Forgot to post that I saw my lovely Surgeon and yup, March 27th it is! Nervous of course but not as much as before the first one. He asked me about pain medication and has already given me two lots of different ones. I collected them and went to the hospital to have my Xray of the left foot done. It's 9 weeks today since my right foot operation and will be 12 weeks to the day of my left foot. I'm due to travel to North Carolina in mid May so my foot will be at about the 7 Weeks post op stage by then. They should both be relatively pain free for summer. I know what to expect this time. Lots of pain and lots of TV! 

Comparing the before and after. Day of op and today. Still very swollen. 

News

My foot is super painful today! The receptionist from the Clinic called, she said they need to change tomorrow's appointment to Wednesday. She said well lets pencil you in a date anyway and the first date was 27th March! Eeeeeek! 

8 Weeks & 2 Days Post Op

Sore and stiff but getting there! I have an appointment on Tuesday morning to book a date for the left foot! Eeeeek! It's painful anyway but relying on it more has taken its toll. I'm scared still but know what to expect. Will report back after the appointment! See pics for update, taken today.
