Healing Well

I had my surgery about a week and a half ago. I had to stay in bed for about 5 days. I went back to school Monday, but of course I tried to do too much so I was in LOTS of pain. Wed. and Th. was better b/c I stayed off my feet. I had the kids wheel me around in my rolling chair, and I'd use my crutches otherwise.
My post-op appt was yesterday. The doc said it's starting to straighten out. He said the pain will be there for another 2 wks. I've got another appt in 3 wks., when they hope to take the pin out. But I got to take off all the gauze and bandages. My doc said to keep a bandaid on it (so it won't snag and get pulled out- gross!), my sock, and my boot.
Here's my pin (I'm about to paint my toenails for Tiff's wedding.):

so I don't have to remember my blog log in everytime I leave you a message. It also keeps people I don't know from clicking on my face and reading my blog :)

So glad you are healing! Teaching is hard enough. I can't imagine doing it in a rolling chair, on crutches, or in such pain. You are a trooper! Hope you continue to heal-and fast! :)
