day 3 - game plan? stay ahead of the pain

[_retrovertigo_]

doing better today. figured out it's a much better idea to butt scoot to the bathroom rather than using the crutches. still having pain but nothing like yesterday after my fall. taking a perc every 3-3 1/2 hours rather than every 4. also alternating 800 mg ibuprofen. my toes are all numb and tingly and i want to wiggle them but i am afraid to

i had a bunionectomy done. so they shaved down the bone that was sticking out on the inside of my right foot, the cut is behind my big toe on top of my foot, a couple inches. pictures are coming after monday when i get my bandages off :)

from my understanding i should be fairly back to "normal" in 4-6 weeks. the complete healing process takes 6 months. definitely more invasive than i had first thought. had to be done though, it was causing me a lot of pain. i was walking on the side of my foot :/
