I just had to sit back and remind myself that I'm only three (four depending on how you count it) days out of surgery, and maybe I'm rushing my recovery. I am getting stir crazy from laying on this couch and I just want to be able to get into my car and go. I hate not being able to get up and make myself something to eat and having to ask people for everything. This ridiculous level of helplessness is causing me to lose my mind. :-{ I haven't taken a step from the couch without my surgical shoe and I have been keeping my feet elevated as instructed. But I have been sleeping on my side and I've noticed that sometimes I'll wake up and find my feet twisted and asleep due to the lack of circulation. I'm worried that this may impeded my healing process. I'm ready to be mobile again and get back to my life.
The general pain is minimal. I usually feel the most pain when I'm standing or walking in those surgical "shoes", which, by the way, are made for someone with a ridiculously wide foot. My friend so kindly referred to them as "jesus pieces". Excuse me while I laugh, ha, ha. :-| I guess they do look like some sort of ridiculous sandal though.
I still have everyone asking, "what was wrong with your feet"? I guess I did a good job of hiding them all these years after all. I guess those people will never know. I guess that is if or until I decide to post the before pictures up here.
