Had surgery 2 days ago. So far so good. The pain is not unbearable at all. The worst part is not being able to put any weight on my foot. If it keeps getting better I will have the left one done in January. Will Keep you posted.

Started putting weight on my foot the past couple of days. It is actully not to bad. The worst part is my left foot huting pretty bad from using it for all the weight bearing. I think right is healing well. Go to doctor next Tuesday for cast removal and stiches out. Will update then.

Went to the doctor yesterday and had my cast removed and my stiches taken out. I have to wear a cam walker for lots of walking but the doctor said I could be in my tennis shoes around the house. The pain is not bad. Still feels funny to walk on it. I have to use a cane when I do not have my cam walker on. Glad to be able to take a shower. Go back in four weeks for a check up and to schedule for my left foot. Update then.

Went to the doctor yesterday for a check up. She said that my foot is healing nicely. Some pain still but said that was normal. Have started walking about 3/4 mile a day for some exercise. Took xrays of left foot yesterday and found a small spur that was not there before. Moved surgery on that foot from late January to Dec 27th. Hope it does as good as surgery on the right. Check in later.

Man... it has been a while since I have updated here. That is so funny because I check in every couople of days. My surgery foot is still doing great. No pain what so ever. Did not get to have my left foot done in December. Found out that I was preggo! So the surgery had to be canceled. Now that I am gaining weight the pain in my left foot is increasing. Don't know really what to do because I can't really take anything for the pain. I have been using my cam walker and iceing it regulary. It seems to help some, but not a whole lot. Don't know what I am gonna do in a few months when I can't even see my feet.
