4 weeks, 1 day Post-Op

I'm officially 4 weeks post-op (yay???)

Although I was officially back to work last week, yesterday was the first day I went into the office.


Not much new is going on around here. If my foot is down too much (more than say... 20 minutes) it starts to hurt and swells. As soon as I get it up, I have relief.

At this point, I'm taking 600mg of Ibuprofen 2-3x per day. It's fairly rare now, that I need the stronger meds.

Things have gotten a bit easier. Since my foot is not as sensitive, I'm able to get around and move around and play with the girls. I can crawl more (ouch, my knees) and move my toes.

Two more weeks and I get to move to a boot and start weight-bearing! I'm really not sure how quickly walking comes back... but I hope I can at least have some mobility by Christmas!

Lacey's favorite new game to play is "cruntches." Here she is with two empty wrapping paper rolls, hopping around on one foot. My mom is the background being awesome, cleaning up our dinner :)
