There really isn't anything new happening this week ... standing and teaching the past two days has been really challenging. I was in pain really early in the day and then it just progressed throughout the day. Tomorrow is our last day of summer camp - whew! Still no toe movement, motion or flexibility. I am SO tired of wearing the boot shoe .... it is hot, bulky and just makes everything more difficult. It is not designed to wear for several months.
I heard from the STL surgeon earlier this week that there is a very fine line as to how much bone needed to be removed from the April toe surgery - can't be too much, but needs to be enough. Not totally sure yet, but it may be a case where more bone needs to be removed to be effective in my case. Supposedly more bone CAN be removed, but need to weigh the risk of opening it again. I am certain that the pain I am experiencing is coming from the toes not functioning.
I have an e-mail into the Texas surgeon asking him if I can resume exercise, if I get the two areas that are supposedly not healed to heal. I think his answer will be "no," but I am asking anyway.
Ready for the weekend, but that is sometimes hard as well, because I can't be out doing things as I'd like.
