PICTURES!!! Yeah! First off here are my cute crutch covers. They suck.
I’ve already put the ones we bought at Walgreens that are not cute at all, however, they are nicely padded. These pink & black ones may be cute, but that is all that they are. I might burn them along with the crutches once I’m all done with this stuff.
So, I only have two days left on the crutches I think. My doctor appointment is on Tuesday and he told me to bring those tennis shoes! So I’m so excited about the thought of not having to use these things. I am way irritated with them and hope I never ever have to use them again once this is all over. I can walk on my foot a lot better now, I can tell its healing, thank goodness. It was even a little itchy this morning, which is how all cuts usually feel when they are heeling so I took that as a good sign.
I did take off the dressing and decide to take a shower the other day. It was an absolutely horrible crap experience! I got all ready – took the bandage off – had the shower water running, got ready to get in and realized…. I can’t stand up on this foot, so how in the world am I going to take a shower????? Well after about 5 minutes of brainstorming, I started crying (shocked?) and ended up taking a bath and washing my hair in the sink as I have been. So, the whole shower thing was a huge letdown. That’s what I’ve been doing. I just don’t feel comfortable standing on that incision. GROSS. It just grosses me out thinking that its going to get all dirty. Which brings me to….
There it is! My foot… that is yesterday morning, before the shower incident, so it was the first time that I took all the stuff off of it and saw it post-stitches. I think its pretty nasty looking. There was some blood on the bandages, which I’m hoping was just from when he had taken out the stitches. It does make me a little sick to my stomach that I can see the exact line where he cut the foot open. Hope it doesn’t gross anyone out too much!
