I'm sooo excited to get back to work. I love being home, but I am getting so antsy. I've only been able to read one short book without falling asleep. Netflix has really been my friend. I have ventured out a few times in the car, but dragging the scooter in and out gets tiresome.
The sutures came out yesterday and they look great. I was able to soak my feet this morning. Let me tell you, being able to scrub all the built up skin off of my foot (not around the incisions of course) was heaven!!! I'm redressing my foot each day, keeping the incision sites moist with vitamin E oil (just break a capsule!) and olive oil, and rewrapping with an ace bandage. I'm putting a cotton ball I between my big and second toe when I remember so it doesn't drift over (yes, it can happen). I also massage the suture sites to help breakup the scar tissue (don't do this if they're not closed yet!).
I'm practically off of all pain meds now, just ibuprofen when I feel I need it.
Back to work on Monday!!
