Well the time has FINALLY come to get the hardware in my foot removed. Howie was not there with me and I was so dang scared. It ended up not being a big deal at all. It was NOTHING compared to the pain of getting the stitches out.
My beautifully colored screws.....
They were much bigger than I expected them to be. WOW!!!
It's crazy that I took so many pictures of these screws. I think I was just a bit amazed that these things kept my "little piggies" in tact for weeks as I healed. They became a "PART" of me :)
It seemed like my feet were FINALLY feeling better and then they took these out. Now I went back to icing it and keeping it dry for ANOTHER week or so. FUN TIMES!!!!
I was also back to wrapping it up each day to keep everything all aligned properly.
Good news though....I graduated from my huge "BOOT" to this little shoe brace. It felt much more comfortable but it took a while to get used to it. I had much more support with the "BeAST" that went all the way up to my knee. It seemed like EVERYTIME I was around my grandkids, I would get hurt with this boot on. I can't wait till I am back to barefoot and sandals.
I do feel EXTREMELY fortunate to have had an AMAZING doctor. He did a great job and he was always so very nice to me. He would often fit me into his schedule whenever I was in town. No matter how busy he was.... he made time for me.
Thank you, Dr. Clark~YOU ROCK!
