Went to the doctor today, and he took the pin out of my toe. I was worried that it was going to hurt, but I didn't feel anything more than a tug, and then it was out. I have to keep wearing the post-op shoe for a while longer until my foot can tolerate actual shoes. Until then, it is slippers and that post-op shoe for me. It is very stiff and feels tight, but the pain isn't too bad :)
Just to gross you out, here is a pic of my foot that I took today:
The red stuff on the side of my foot is not blood. It is just some kind of liquid they use to keep the area where the stitches were protected. And yes, that is the word "yes" on my foot. I guess the doctor wrote it there so they would know which foot was being operated on - lol.
The bunion is gone....no more bump :) And tomorrow I can FINALLY take an actual shower and/or bath, without having to hang my right leg out of the tub! LOL. I tell you, my foot looked so nasty, with all the dry skin. I am so dying for that shower already!

I'm glad you are healing so well...but your picture made the bones in my legs hurt....sympathy pains, yet another reason I couldn't be a nurse.
