I have a purty, pink foot now - lol

The doctor changed the bandages on my foot and put a new, smaller bandage on. Isn't it purty?

He said it is looking good. I saw it for the first time since the surgery, and it looked awful to me - lol. There is a row of stitches going up the side of my foot now and it looked red and a little bloody. Plus, there is a pin sticking out of my little toe, holding it straight in place. The x-rays showed that the toe is now straight (it was crooked before), so that is a good thing.

I get the stitches taken out on November 11th, but the pin doesn't come out for a few weeks yet. I can go back to work after the stitches are out, as long as I am sitting down 90% of the time, cuz if I do too much walking, it will cause swelling and a lot of pain. I ended up taking a Vicodin today cuz, well, I HAD to go to Michael's and then to Sam's Club (I love their soft pretzels). Don't worry....my mom drove - lol. But that was too much walking and now my foot is throbbing :(

I am working on Christmas ornaments. I will have some pictures soon :) I upzipped all my computer files too, since I can do that sitting down - hehe. I HATE having to sit around. Those 2 days after surgery where I was not allowed to do any walking but to the bathroom were hell! Sitting down gets old really fast, I tell you! Now that I CAN walk around a bit, it hurts too much to do it for too long, but at least I can clean and stuff (even if I can't take a shower yet - argh - don't worry - I have been keeping clean - LOL!)
