Foot Surgery/Recovery

Almost a week has past since my foot surgery. The surgery went well. It was out patient surgery. It was different having my friend who I did girlscouts with and have known a long time, do the surgery. She is an awesome podiatrist! Anyone have foot problems, let me know! She treated both the girls with their broken feet too! They go in and cut the plantar facia which connects to your heal. Then all I have to do is wear a boot and stay off it for 3 weeks. Uh yah... I thought ok... this won't be a problem. The girls can help me. Greg had his long time hunting trip planned, so told him to go. The surgery should be easy. It wasn't bad, but harder because I couldn't get around and was stir crazy. I had a drain in my foot that was rubbing on the boot. It was getting painful. I mostly stayed off it and kept my boot off when laying down. But we made it through.... I didn't need pain pills after Sunday night!
I am mastering the wheel chair on the main floor. I use the crutches upstairs. I drag the crutches with me in the car (need a little assistance getting them in the car) I wash my hair on the main floor. My main bathroom is on the main floor to get ready for bed, brush teeth, wash face, etc. I put our blowup bed on the main floor so I lay with foot propped up when watching TV or movies... doing a lot of that! Getting better around the kitchen... cooking a little, but still hard to get in the fridge. Little tight over in that section.
On Monday, I had a follow up with Dr. She took out the drain (thank goodness), cleaned and dressed it again, complete with a hot pink wrap! Hardly no pain after leaving the office that day. Still need to stay off it to heal. I go back next Tuesday, hoping she will take out the stitches then. I feel some rubbing, which is probably a little dried, residual drainage. I can wait til Tuesday, I hope.
In three weeks, I'm supose to start physical therapy. Who hoooo!
That's all for now...
