2nd Post op appointment

I have my second post op appointment today. I am three days shy from seven weeks since my surgery. I am REALLY nervous about this appointment because with my foot being in my hard cast it is kinda like my security blanket. I know he will be moving my foot around and I'm sure that will not only feel weird but will be a bit uncomfortable. I will be taking some Tylenol before I go to try and off set some of the pain I'm sure I'll be feeling.

They will be taking an x-ray to see if my bone has fused enough for me to go in to a air cast. He originally told me 12-16 weeks NWB and 4-8 weeks in a hard cast. I can honestly say that it will not bother me if he says I need to go back in to my hard cast for a few more weeks. I feel very safe in this one and I am quite honestly scared to come out of it. I just know that I can't hurt my foot while it's in here. I have banged it a couple of times and didn't even feel it because the hard cast was protecting it. I know that out of the cast if I bang it or hit it the wrong way I may hurt myself. Maybe I'm just being a BIG BABY, but oh well...I'm safe in this cast so booooo waaahhhh. LOL

I have had some tendon pain this week and have had to take some Tylenol a couple of times. The past few days have been pretty good. I've had some pain but nothing I can't live with. I have been a little more active...with the help of my family of course. I had the strangest feeling last night. I guess it was my nerves playing games on me. The bottom of my foot felt like it had fallen asleep and was waking up. I had the tingling feeling you get as it wakes up. It was mostly down around my heel part of my foot. I still have some numb feeling in my toes, but I'm getting more feeling in them. I guess it's just my nerves healing. It's not really a pain type feeling just an annoyance. I did have some pain in my heel yesterday. Almost as if I could feel the screw in my heel. It kinda felt like I had stepped on a nail and it went in to my heel. It was nothing I couldn't handle but it wasn't pleasant.

I'll be posting pictures of my doctors visit and how the visit went later.
