First Week at College !!

For the past week, I have been very careful what i do or walk to on my feet. The weather is changing and my feet have been very achy and swollen!

For the first 4 days of orientation.. every day we had times to go to certain activities. The first day was probably the hardest for me.
I woke up at 8, and then church, met everyone, met my group leaders and the 30 people in my group. then we all went outside and played a bug game with your SHOES OFF.. obviously i couldn't play so i sat out.

The next game was a running game... sat out.. and people were looking at me like I was weird. i felt horrible and embarrassed...

lately my feet have just been swollen, wearing the same 2 shoes! and so every outfit i wear is ugly because my shoes don't match.. but whatever i don't even care anymore..

yesterday was dance try outs.. i couldn't even try out because of my feet. and i heard they only take 12 girls. so my next door neighbor made it, i heard she was good....

today my whole family is coming to see me and we're going out for lunch

32 days since my surgery

today I'm going to the Sox game with my family!!!

Downtown with my feet

Today i went downtown with my family to watch the air&water show on the odyssey boat. i had a lot of fun! so many people were there i was scared someone was going to step on my feet, so i took my crutches so people would not come close to me (even though i don't need them)

tomorrow i go to the Sox game with my family grandma and boyfriend.. cant wait!!!

(my feet are getting better everyday)

A normal day

The past 4 days I have been walking with normal shoes. I went shopping yesterday trying to find tennis shoes that fit me (especially my left foot, it's still very swollen). So i bought Ed Hardy tennis shoes, and i bought crocs that covered my whole foot. The Ed Hardy shoes don't fit my left foot yet.. but I bought them anyways.. because they're so cute =]

I can't join the dance team, or my ballet class because my feet are not ready.

5 more days til i move in for college

Normal Feet =)

Today I went to the doctor to have my last pin removed. I feel like a normal person! I walk with normal shoes, or none at all, and I wear socks! The next Check-up I have is next wed. The day I move in for college.

SO happy! =)

Yesterday was my 2nd checkup. i went in thinking the worst so when he told me what he thinks i would not be so depressed like last week.

Last Monday, the doctor told me on Wed. he will take X-rays and take my stitches and Pins out. He also said I can wear regular shoes, and shower!

So yesterday was the day I would find out if my toes have healed. The thing that scared me was the my 2nd toe on my Left foot was still turning 2 days before, so would he take the pin out? and if he did... would it turn on me??

After my x-rays, I walked in and sat in the chair. Both of my parents came with me, and waited for the doctor. Little after, He came in and looked at my X-rays. He told me I want to take everything out, BUT it is your choice if you want me to take the pin in 2Nd toe out. My dad asked questions like what are the chances it will move, and what if it doesn't move can we come in earlier.. the doctor said on Monday he will take the one pin out if it's not moving, but if for some reason it hurt me, i can come in on Saturday. So decided to keep the one pin in for another 4 days... at least my right foot would be good.

So he started taking my stitches out, it didn't hurt. He then pulled the first pin out...

It was the most painful pin out of the 5. He told me it would hurt because on the X ray the pin was actually bent in my bones. so when he pulled it out, it felt like my bones were coming with it. the other ones felt like pressure and they all slipped out easily. (i took vicodin too before ;) )

So today I took a shower and I got my right foot wet. It was scarey but I was gentle. and i can walk around with a normal sock and i can walk in normal shoes!

Right Foot ...Gross:

Right Food After Shower:

Pool TIME!!!

Tomorrow's the day

Tomorrow I go in for my 2nd check-up. im nervous because i dont think he will take the pins out on my left foot. so i will have them in for another week. just because my 2nd toe is still turning on me.

Another day

I went to the doctor again today, so he can rotate my toe again... =/

the past couple days nothing has been going on. my sister came home from school so I'm happy i have someone other than my parents to keep me company everyday.

One of my friends surprised me yesterday with a card that sang to me and a stuffed animal. it was very thoughtful of her!

It is 4:19pm and I'm watching the Sox game!!!
