Second foot surgery - Right foot

   Well I took the dive and just got my right foot done as well. Bye bye last bunion! Had my surgery on Tuesday and it is now Friday. No real pictures interesting pictures to show as the wrapping is still on for the next two weeks.

The "no" is to prevent accidental surgery on wrong foot:D, not a tattoo

   However I do have some major toe swelling as you can see above. I am taking Norco this time instead of Percocet, which I like a lot better because I don't get a nauseated. I am taking it about every 5-6 hours while awake. I haven't gotten up much, just to use the bathroom and grab food. I've been icing my foot as much as possible. It's a lot easier this time around since I already know what to expect.













  I wasn't sure I would even bother about blogging this foot but I

thought it might be a good idea in case anything is different this time around. To prep for this surgery I did the same things as in my first blog posts. However, this time I did get a shower with a removable handle and an actual shower seat. Worth the splurge, let me tell you. Getting down into a tub with your boot sticking out really tests your core ab abilities. After laying in bed for a week, you won't have great abs anymore. Or like me, you never did in the first place.

   I am really restless this time around. I would definitely be going out of the house today if sheer pain didn't stop me.
