Foot Surgery

So on Friday February 1st I had to have foot surgery. I have had a problem with my left foot for a few years now. I have what's called a Morton's Neuroma. I get pain in my foot which is caused by nerves in my foot. I have been through cortisone shots and I have inserts for my shoes, but it just wasn't getting better. I decided to have the surgery. I have been off work, and I am off this coming week too. I am starting to get a little stir crazy, but resting was the best option. My doctor didn't want me going back to work sine I work with kids. Someone was bound to step on my foot. I get the stitches out on the 14th and I can't wait. I have to keep my foot up and showering has been tough. I know this will be the best in the long run, but since I can't really walk now, it is hard to see the end result. I accidentally got it wet, so I had to take the dressing off. I took 2 photos, so if you are squeamish, don't look. :)

My foot and toes are swollen.....and the orange medicine is still on, yuck! I can't wait to take a "real" shower!
