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!!
