Bunion Surgery

Well the pin has been out for three days and my foot is feeling great! Okay, well, maybe not great, but much better than when I had the pin in. As soon as I got home from the pin removal I exfoliated my foot, because the skin was dry and rough and disgusting. That felt so good! It seems to be healing well although I am still covering up the incision and the pinhole when I have to walk somewhere. I have an Air Cast… but more about that later. Here are some photos of my foot just before and just after having the pin removed.

Just before. You can see how much the pin is irritating the skin. Extremely painful!

Just after.

The pin.

I took the elastic bandage off pretty quick, to expose my gross scaly foot.

I can’t explain how good the water felt on my skin after 6 weeks! I had bought a special loofah just to exfoliate my foot with.

And, afterwards, smooth foot!

And my feet as a (somewhat) finished product.

And, finally, showing the difference in my range of motion.

Hope you enjoyed the photos! More to come as my foot progresses in its healing.
