So yesterday my mom noticed another toe that has turned on me. so this morning we had to go in so the doctor can move it back into place. i took a shower and we left right away. The doctor told me that the toes can move because the bones have not "set" yet, and i totally understood. i realize how major toe shortening surgery really is! He turned the toe back, and it wasn't painful. and i was watching because I'm not scared anymore. and i have learned to love my toes (and the pins =) )
Today I'm very excited my mom went to blockbuster and got me 3 movies and a Wii game!!!
-Hook (captain hook)
-21
-Bee movie
- Wii trivia ( it's really hard questions!!)
Right now I'm going to watch Hook!
talk to you later!!!

12 days worst day
Yesterday i went to the doctor for my first check-up. (the other checkup was an emergency). I went in, the doctor unwrapped both feet and i finally saw them!!!! I couldn't believe what i saw. little toes, MY straight little toes!!!! but of course they were very swollen!
I cannot look long cause I do not like seeing the pins sticking out of my toes! (it freaks me out!)
So after the doctor took eveyrthing off , and i looked at them for the first time , i noticed something...on my right foot, the 4th toe, i saw it turned a bit. My mom noticed right it away. The doctor said that it could be very swollen or it moved. I freaked out, I started getting really hot! I got very nervous hearing my toe has moved and was healing in the wrong position!! So I looked at my toe again and I saw the doctor turn my toe back in place. All I felt was pressure!! ughhh then the worst part. he told me another 10 days like this until he takes the pins out and i could walk in tennis shoes.
Later on this day and today I feel pain.
So today my mom checked that the one toe was sticking straight up and not turned again. She said this toe was perfect. My mom noticed another toe, (of course...)on my left foot, my 2nd toe was turned in too! (not as much as my right foot but it is turned slightly)... so she called the doctor and I'm still waiting for the call...
why do i have to be stuck with this???
now i cannot walk, and i feel pain!
Next Wednesday the doctor will take the pins out and i can finally walk in tennis shoes!!!
i will go crazy!!!! especially if my toes don't come out straight.

I SAW MY TOES!!!
for the past 2 days my right foot has been killing me. it feels like a sharp knife is digging into my toes! i cant sleep or relax. so today my dad called the doctor and they told me i could come in today at 1.
when i was there . She unwrapped them and found out why i was feeling this pain. i guess i have irritated skin by my third toe. so she put some oil on it to calm it down and wrapped it up for me again.
i couldn't' look at them because i cant stand looking at the pins in my toes and the blood on my toes. plus id rather see them when they are all finished!! i was just too nervous!!
but my mom took a picture of them when the doctor wasn't in the room. and i saw the picture later on in the car ride home. i really like how they look and i cannot wait to wear flip flops!!!

2nd night...
last night.. my 4th toe hurt again! i couldn't even sleep. i was exhausted and all night i kept waking up. plus it was thunder storming outside so i couldn't even sleep. i woke up every hour and my toes were hurting me that i forced myself to fall back asleep.
i finally woke up around 9:30 this morning and my mom came in and told me to come downstairs. she gave me my crutches and walked downstairs. because I'm so weak and tired i hurt my big toe because i leaned right on it. it hurt so bad i had a tear in my eye! i couldn't even walk so i had to call her back upstairs and she had to help me sit down so i can just scoot to the bathroom.
my dad had to carry me downstairs. and I'm now coloring, online, and watching Jerry McGuire. later on ill take a shower... i cant wait!!

2nd day
today was an easy day. i barely had any pain. the 3rd or 4th toe on my left foot was the only pain i actually had. it felt like a knife was digging into my toe. it hurt a lot so i took 2 of my pain killers!
in the afternoon, my boyfriend stopped by again then i relaxed until the evening.
later on my grandparents, uncle aunt and two cousins stopped by. at dinner had dessert and watched the sox game.. GO SOX! i scooted around a lot. after my family left, my cousin stayed behind and talked to me and my mom. i really felt like i was part of the gossip and i really liked it! i really like my cousin.. she's funny!!!
well here goes my 2nd night! goodnight!!
first night =(
so last night i was blessed with no pain. but of course something went wrong and i couldn't fall asleep! everything i did. my room was steaming hot, my pillows were hot everything. so i couldn't sleep. it was around 3am and finally my mom came in to check on me.. i was relieved!
she helped me to the bathroom, then my dad gave me a sleeping pill.. i then slept til 11am
this morning i woke up with pain..i think it was from all the walking i did the day before. So my sister helped me down the stairs and I'm in my family room watching TV. while my feet hurt. my mom gave me two pills so they will stop hurting.. they haven't kicked in yet

after surgery
its 11:13pm.
so when i arrived at the hospital, me and my mom went upstairs and signed in. we sat in chairs waited for my name to be called and waited for my dad to park the car and find us. i brought my laptop so my mom could check her emails.
they called my name finally and i walked back into this room. the nurse closed the curtain and told me to change into this robe.. nothing underneath, not gonna lie i was pretty nervous! i took a pregnancy test so i had to urinate in a cup, i was so nervous i didn't think i had enough for the nurse!
i waited in the room and finally two nurses came in. they laid my down on the bed and asked me questions. one nurse talked to me about my feet and the other was injecting me with a needle for my iv. it hurt!i hated it! then the anesthesiologist cane in and he talked to me about what his job was. i wasn't paying attention. i couldn't believe this was all happening! i was laying there the nurses left and my parents walked in. they stayed with me until the doc was ready for me! they reeled me away and of course i had tears inn my eyes. i was extremely nervous and i just couldn't wait to be over with.
all i remember was laying on the bed with my iv in and they strapped me in.... that's it. next thing i know i was in the waiting room.. not even recovery room. i guess i slept the whole time.. but i Do remember int he recovery room i was freezing and was shaking and they kept giving me warm blankets.. i like them.
int he waiting room my parents came in, of course my dad video taped me! i didn't care i sometimes like when he does that and plus i was so tired i didn't care ha ha. i was in the waiting room sleeping with my parents for about an hour and finally around 3ish i left. i was in the car and i was on my way home.
my boyfriend came over and visited me for about 5 hours. that was very nice of him! My grandparents came over too! my sister came home from college and my dad came home tonight from his business trip. its 11:21 and I'm exhausted..

after doctors app.
so today at 2pm. i went to the doctor and got my feet checked out. he told me everything i need done./ and its worse than before. he had x-rays from last year June and today he took new ones. nothing got worse but he is now talking about my bunion forming and my Lil pinkie toe. so instead of having 6 toes done, I'm having 8 out of 10 done... ugh.
the recover is 10-15 days off the feet. relaxing so I'm going to be blogging a lot. and after that I'm going for a checkup. after that another week and he will take the pins out of my toes. after the 2nd checkup he said i can go back to work, and maybe start wearing flip flops.
