After my first surgery, I couldn't mow the lawn for awhile. Greg didn't get to it, so I thought it would be a good time for Kellie to mow. She did great overall. There was a few times when the mower almost got away from her. All in all, the lawn looked great and Kellie thought it wasn't to bad a job after all!
Hope everyone had a great Halloween! Here's a picture of Kellie and Jessica. The other is Jessica's friend, Abby. We had about 130 Trick or treaters! I sat outside with my foot propped up and gave out candy for a while. It was fun!
The group picture is Kellie and friends, they went to the Halloween Dance.
Here's some pictures from bunko! We had a great time! The witches were so much fun!
Went to the Doctor yesterday, got a foot bath and re-wrap. Dr. said it's looking great and showing very promising. I sure hope so... Stitches will likely come out in 2 more weeks and start physical therapy in 3 weeks. I'm getting better and better with the wheelchair and crutches. She still doesn't want me to put any pressure on it. Also, to start massaging it and stretching it out.
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...
