Hi everyone! I am doing better, Still have a ways to go for my foot to heal. The operation went well. Getting the stitches out next week but will have the wires in my toe for several more weeks. I will not be able to put shoes on for several more months if all goes well. Thank you all for your prayers and good wishes. Thanks Karen 02kar for keeping you all updated. You are all a wonderful people! Suzanne

That's such good news, that things are coming together for you at last. Sounds like you're going to need a few double polar fleece boots for that sore foot. Make a statement for each season, like Hallowe'en, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Snowtime, Cardinals and Spring, with a choice of fabric as in 'if your foot is going to give you lemons, then make coloured lemonade boots'.... :} ...

Thinking of you and hoping that all continues to progress well.

Know all the pain and discomfort you are going through. My daughter had her wires removed on Tuesday after being in her foot for eight weeks. Got her a walker so she can start to put weight on her heel this weekend. Hope you continue to keep feeling better. Lots of Hugs for you.

Thank you! I hope your daughter keeps making strides towards her recovery too. I can sympathize with her pain.Does it hurt to remove the wires? Suzanne

When the doctor pulled them out it was fine until the final pop like a cork and she said that stung. I was holding her because she wanted me to but she would have been fine on her own.

There was some blood but I'm putting those round spot bandages on both of the wire holes and a bandage across them.

Her doctor wanted her to have a surgical stocking on to help with the circulation and swelling so if you need to wear one I have a great tip on getting it on. Just let me know.

Glad to hear that all went well! Take good care of yourself. I sure hope the healing process goes very quickly! I do not know where you are located but you sound like you may need to purchase some thermal socks and some slides with a hard bottom. It will be cold weather very soon! Hugs and prayers, Linda

Apart from the pain - (I hope you have that under control)- it is the perfect time to sit back and relax. With no housework for a bit you can get more time with your machine!! LOL Get better soon.

Glad to hear you're doing better. Not being able to wear shoes sounds great to me as I love going barefooted in the house. By all means protect your toe. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hugs
