The Pain Game

So, now it begins, the healing process. Surgery was delayed by 3 hours, giving me plenty of opportunity to back out. But I didn't and I am laying here, hurting. It's puffy and tight from the swelling and, of all things, my pinkie toe hurts from being wrapped tightly. I have to wiggle it by hand because I have yet to figure out how to wiggle it without moving the other toes. Moving the big toe is a BIG pain. Ice is my friend, as is pain medication.

Can't wait for it to be pain free and healed.

Big (little) Day

Tomorrow I go in for foot surgery. Nothing major, just a bunionectomy. I had this surgery on the right foot 7 years ago and I have been putting it off because the recovery stinks. I don't have to recover carrying a baby around this time, but I still have to manuever stairs and driving and...life. Truth is, I am afraid of not waking up. It sounds dumb, but there was a time in my life where I didn't want to be here. Now, I do. I sure hope I've done enough good that it outweighs my negative and I wake up. I am too busy to die now.
