Looking good!

Goody goody for you!

Yep-that foot looks a bit swollen. Does it feel better?

Thanks guys! The Foot feels much better. I'm walking more or less normally, although slowly and carefully, and I don't feel quite so Frankensteinish anymore - gimping along with an oversized foot.

In 2-4 weeks, I should be able to start to do "impact activities" again, which - let me tell you - will be *wonderful*. I've been almost completely inactive since May 24th, and I'm starting to feel like a marshmallow :)

Aren't you having the other one done?

Yup, but not until next July. I was initially supposed to get the other foot done this September, but I had no idea how long and painfully inactive the recuperation period would be - four months with no impact is a long, long time. I just can't be inactive for 8 straight months. I would seriously turn into the human marshmallow. Plus, I wouldn't be able to fit into any real shoes once the weather got cold. Sandals are much more forgiving. So next July it is!

Just wondering how your tootsies are.

& where you've diappeared to (if I may be so nosy). Let me guess, Fall's almost here, is school back in session?

School is indeed back in. I'm preparing for comprehensive exams, hammering out a project proposal, and preparing to teach the first course I've ever taught. egad! I'm over at the Hot Topics forum more regularly, but even when I check in at the C&S forum, it seems rather dead. Has anyone else noticed that?

My foot's doing fabulously, thanks! :) It's starting to feel more and more like "my" foot. At first it was like some alien appendage that had somehow been attached to my body. I can put more impact on it - I even ran (in a hobbling kind of way) for the bus last week :) It's still a little swollen and stiff (which my doctor assures me is normal for this surgery), but I have no pain. I'm very happy with the no pain :)

How are you all doing?
