Roz: Hi, again. I am not really sure how I'm doing at this point (it will be 3 weeks since surgery on Wed). My foot is still too sore to put full weight on it, so still using crutches, and as you know, that's exhausting. I am putting more and more weight on it, but when I step on it to walk, I get a sharp pain across the bottom of the foot, and espcially at the incision sites.Dr. Barrett says some people take up to 4 weeks to be able to walk, so its not unheard of, but not the norm, either. Of course, I wouldn't expect anything about this to go "normally!"
I started a swimming program last Friday - it feels pretty good on the feet (even the left foot, which hasn't been cut on). Getting in and out of the gym and then the pool is difficult and tiring, tho.
Your idea for a break is a good one. I hope you can do that; it sounds like you are worn out and could use some rest. This chronic pain is really tiring. Still praying, Cindy
