Been a few days since my last post...gotta admit, going a little stir crazy at home. I mean, there's only so much I can do...with a CAST! As I mentioned somewhere in past posts, my husband works from home...mixed blessing. Decided to go in the pool yesterday...even though we're home at least we're out side. Unfortunately, the water already got cold! However, I did get in, well, on a raft...with the "boot" on. It was a nice change.
Well, about the foot!...how can I put this?....having the cast on really sucks. That's the best way I could put it. (& of course this is just me) As far as post surgery feeling & the toe. Well, it feels uncomfortable, a little pain & last night the incision on my heal decided to get itchy for the first time in the middle of the night. The nights...sigh...it's still hard to fall asleep & still hard to find a comfortable position. My toe & heal feel tingly & numb. My pinky toe is very numb. My toe feels stiff & I swear I think part of it is from the hardware. I'd love to speak with others that have had this surgery to ask them if they felt this. This & what in the world did they do during this period. During the 3 months of wearing the cast to not go crazy!
Today husband & I decided to go see the daughter & her babies. When I'm around them, all my trouble melt away. Always. Today's visit made my heart swell. My gran daughter was so curious about the open toe area of the cast. So much that during lunch she wanted to share her bread with me & stuck some in the open part of the cast...right onto my toes. Oh my little love! It was funny after I was done having a heart attack.
I wish I could take the cast off & really clean my foot & toes really well. It would relieve my OCDness greatly.
