October 12th I had Bunion Surgery.
Nearly 10 weeks ago.
Two and a half months ago seems like ages to me.
As I sit here writing my LONG LONG over due post, I think I have made great progress.
Prior to that I felt it would never heal.
How do I feel at this point in time?
I can walk.
I have been driving for two weeks.
YIPPEE
NOT DRIVING FOR TWO MONTHS was the MOST difficult for me to accept.

December 2nd I went to doctor for more ex-rays, he told me the bone is fusing together nicely with the screw in place. Then he adds the next two weeks could be challenging to walk without that BOOT. Because the boot was totally FLAT on the bottom with no flex when walking. Meaning I have to bend the foot and the toe!
I can wear shoes now, but found only ONE in my closet that I can comfortable tolerate.
Which shoes can Jane wear now?
"TEVA MARY JANE'S"
I continue the exercises of bending the big toe for more flexibility.
Doing this early on helped me be where I am today with walking.

Doctor has been upfront with me all along.
There will be swelling for SEVERAL months.
IT TAKES A FULL YEAR TO BE TOTALLY HEALED
Apply ice, and then heat for swelling or pain relief.
The pain is nothing like those first couple of weeks.
Everyone heals differently as we all know.
Some people require a shot at this point in time to walk.
I did not think this was necessary for myself.
The swelling evolves by the later part of mid day.
This is the only thing that seems to be painful, unless I put on a binding shoe.
There is hope!

is all behind me now...
Remember that I seem to be procrastinating on my blogging.
When I look at it and the people that I follow daily.
Be patient, I am not giving up on myself...

That's great news, Janie.
Your poor pre-surgery foot looks so painful. Amazing before and after shots.

What a difficult journey you have been on! It is nice to know that your recovery coincides with the holidays. Hang in there my friend. :-)
Your foot looks wonderful! All you need is some splashy Christmas toe paint! Is a holiday pedicure in your future?
