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!
