Just lookin' at you (long post; with pics)

Two week post-op appointment was Wednesday.
It went well. The doctor is not very happy that I haven't gotten the swelling down yet :/ oops! I haven't been 'resting' enough, I know! But seriously, it's soooo difficult to just lay here and not get up and hop around to get something I need haha! I hate asking Dad to help me allll the timeeee. He needs a break once in a while! Poor Daddy :( He's been awesome helping! He does everything around here; taking care of mommy, me and Gypsy and takes care of the house! He's the best!!!

This is how I have to wash my hair since I can't shower. I take sponge baths lol! Awkward...



Gypsy sliced her foot open last week. We don't know how but we noticed she was favoring her foot and she was licking it a lot. This is Jeanette wrapping it with a gauze pad but she chewed it off that night while we were all sleeping haha!



So. The following pictures are of my foot when the doctor took the bandages off. These are definitely not pleasant to look at so this is your warning! If you have a weak stomach, I would recommend against viewing these pictures...

We'll start with the before pictures.

This shows how prominent the bunion is on the right foot compared to the left foot. (Thank you Mommy for taking these pictures! I know I will be thankful for them when we have the after pictures :))



Right foot(right before surgery)



Left foot to compare



Day 2 after surgery. All bundled up!



This is how I have to lay in the bath.



First post-op appointment. 1 week after surgery. Very swollen :/







Second post-op appointment. 2 weeks after surgery. Still swollen :/







Bundled up after the appointment and the doctor gave me a toe ring haha! But it's too swollen to wear right now :(



Last one, I promise! This is what it looks like today. She put a new type of wrapping and its feels a lot better! This wrapping is supposed to help with the swelling and I can remove it and it is machine washable (I had to ask haha!). I will wear this sock type wrapping for a month.



The doctor said I can wear whatever shoes I want as long as they have arch support but I am not comfortable enough to get out of the boot they gave me haha! So we're gonna stick with this and the ace bandage and the boot for now. Seriously, the ice gets really cold!!! Percocet is still doing it's job which is good for me. I'm sleepy haha and it's only 4pm... :/

Another post coming about the future (Physical therapy and driving etc.)
