Foot Prison!!!

So, one month ago today, I had surgery on my right foot to correct a painful bunion!! They are hereditary and I got them from my dad (Thanks Daddy!). I'll spare you from the feet pictures, but just know that it was a pretty big bunion.

The pain lasted for about two weeks post op. I was able to keep most of it at bay with the pain meds.

The worst part about the whole ordeal is what I call FOOT PRISON! I've been in a walking boot for a whole month now...including sleeping in it to protect my foot as the bones fuse together around the pin.

Ever tried to get outfits to match with a big black boot??


I did, however, add my girly touch to it!!



I have one more week of this boot 24/7. Starting next Wednesday, I can wear a tennis shoe half the day. It will be heaven on earth, I do believe.

I still have to get the left foot done (November/December) but I am so happy to now be on my journey to pain-free feet!
