My Little "Friend"

Last night I was shutting the curtains on my patio doors & I noticed that I had a "friend". He is pictured below & yes, that is a bat. Ewww! He was stuck in between my screen door & the outside door - at least he wasn't inside. I was finally able to rest easily when I got him to fly away, far, far away!! :)

My toes are also doing really well. The bruising is almost gone - now if only the swelling would go away. :)

I also went to Mt. Hosmer today. It was such a beautiful day & it is always such a great view. Too bad I didn't have my camera! :(

Another Update

I went to the doctor again yesterday & everything is still looking great! I received splints to help my toes heal straight & I can now take showers!! I have to go back in 2 weeks & have x-rays taken. If everything looks good I may be able to wear normal shoes again. I took a picture of my feet, they are still quite swollen but I think that they will look much straighter when the swelling goes down because they are mostly swollen where the bunion was. :)

One more week

I went to the doctor yesterday & he just rewrapped my feet. I didn't take a picture because they don't look too pretty yet. I cannot wait to wash them!! Anyway, I go back next Monday afternoon & then I will receive a splint that will have to be kept on them until the bone finishes healing. I will post a picture when they are cleaned up. :0) They are much straighter than they were before! Yea!!

Purple power

My toes have turned this lovely purple color. They are doing very well & I haven't needed to take any pain meds for the past couple of days!!

Feet update

I have not had much pain in my feet & everyday it gets easier to walk around the apartment. I went to church yesterday & was tired the rest of the day though. I guess that I just don't have my energy back up to what it was before! Oh well, overall I'm doing great. I plan on taking the first quiz for my class today. There is a lot to learn but I think that I'll be okay. Yesterday I took a picture of my feet without the lovely shoes. The toes on my left foot are bruised but other than that I think they look okay. I'm excited to see how they look next Monday when the doctor changes the wraps!

Thanks again to everyone who prayed & thought about me before, during, & after my surgery - you are greatly appreciated!!

Surgery part 2

I had my surgery yesterday & everything went great! The official name of my surgery is an Austin Kalish Bunionectomy Bilateral. I always knew that Austin was a pain! :) Actually, I still haven't had any pain. I've just been sitting around with my feet up & I haven't noticed any swelling either. A big thank you to everyone who has been praying & thinking about me these past few days!! Check out my sweet new shoes.

Farewell Caledonia

Today was my last day driving to Caledonia for work. The saddest part was leaving all the people that I had become friends with over the years! :( We had some really fun times.
