I'm looking at my last day of "foot freedom" today. I think people take walking for granted. I've been dealing with not being able to walk - pain free - for over a year now. I think I always thought it would just get better. I never thought I'd have a tear in my tendon.
Today, I saw my Dr. for the last time before surgery. I got my crutches and pain meds and then he came in and drew on a piece of paper what he was going to do, exactly.
It would be one thing if just the tendon was to be repaired, but since I walk on the outside of my foot - he has to cut into and take out bone from two different bones in my foot, and then put screws in each just to make my foot walk normally.
Swell!
I've cleaned my house and prepared a place for me to convalesce. My family has to come through and pick up ALL the chores I do on a regular basis. Cross fingers!
Next we speak, I'll have a cast on my foot, up to my knee!
Pictures to follow....if I'm awake!
