1 week & 2 days Later

Everything has been going well I guess. I still endure a little pain & discomfort but it's way more bearable. I try not to take the hydrocodones unless it's necessary. I even take half sometimes. My brachy toe is really swollen & very numb to touch. I really hope that's normal. For the good news, when I went to the doc on last week he too off the bandage & I saw a normal length toe.. :-). I grinned all day after seeing that!! He did the one step procedure but also temporarily attached a fixator. It's way diff & smaller than the fixators normally used. He said he wanted to get the longest possible length. Being kind of confined is pretty tough for an active mother of a 4 year old but I feel it will all be worth it. I have had someone home with me day in & out all week but finally stayed alone last night. It wasn't too bad. I really look forward to walking even if only in the boot. I hope my recovery is pretty speedy!! My next post op is scheduled for Monday. I will update you then. Stay tuned:)

This is how the bottom of my brachy toe looks.... Normal length:)But still pretty red & swollen.
