I went to the doctor today. One week post op but it’s been looking so good that the dr. Thought I was two weeks postop he was confused and then he finally saw his notes and he was apologetic. I am finally in a boot and in 2 weeks I will be able to go to PT and hopefully start getting better. He gave me gave me Gabapentin for the burning and so I could sleep at night and I am taking Percocet for the pain but I’m trying to not take as much one in the morning and night, I heard it’s hard to get away from those painkillers so I don’t want to get addictive. Take it day by day ladies because we can do this! I felt lost at times since I am in my 30s and have two young children still in school but we will do this. Keep up the faith, prayers and never lose hope.
Good job Lucy!!! I do hope you have help with everything. Having a family and Being in a boot just after one week is super. It was a month before I was able to get my cast off and into a boot. I am now two months post op and in my tennis shoes. I wear my boot when my foot starts getting tired but it’s not often any more.
You are doing very well........

Yes I have amazing kids, husband, parents and friends that have come to visit and help me out. But sometimes I feel like it would be impossible and can be very frustrating.
