Greetings! I am doing well . . . just plugging away at work and everyday life activities. In three weeks it will be the one year mark, since my last foot surgery - yippee! This will be the longest we've gone with no surgery, so that would be a milestone. The achy toe somewhat comes and goes. It feels like I am putting a lot of pressure on the big toe and it has no function now (fused), so that may be part of the issue. I've had a lot of swelling on the front top of the foot lately, where we did the artery transfer. It looks like an uncooked breakfast biscuit on the skin section just behind my toes. Not the most attractive with a sandal, but such is life. I did break down and have a pedicure last week, since all the toenail surgery remnants look healed.
This Thursday will be 8 weeks before the hip surgery. Tonight I read a lot of information on Barnes West Co. hospital, as it has changed quite a bit since I was there for the original surgery. My June will be filled with three camps, so once June comes the time will go really fast. I have decided to take off the five days before the surgery and go on a trip - not sure where yet, but someplace warm, sunny and fun. I am sure it will likely be 4-6 weeks after the surgery before I feel really well, so figured I'd better try to squeeze in a summer trip before.
Need to scoot to bed, to be ready for JA kiddos tomorrow.
Thanks for checking in!
Jenny
