All went well with having the stitches removed on Friday morning. I was in and out of there in all of fifteen minutes! I easily need another two weeks for more healing to take place. Thankfully, the incision is staying closed - whew! It is still pretty tender and I can't do a confined shoe yet. I did wear a tennis shoe this afternoon for several hours. I am back at my house now and am able to drive.
It is clear that because there is minimal movement with the toes, this is always going to make wearing anything other than a tennis shoe challenging. A "mule style" shoe is a better choice, but that isn't the best for my hip situation. I'll figure it out somehow.
I had to stop the medication that was working on the hives. The increased heart rate and heartburn was almost worse than the hives. I woke up Saturday morning with the hives all over both hands. They subsided somewhat by the afternoon, but clearly there is something that I am still allergic to - you'd think we'd have figured it out after three months.
Hoping for a "hive free" week ....
Jenny
