Bunion Surgery

Well my arms are slowly feeling better from my big crutches escapade, and my foot is getting better each day. What is really driving me nuts lately is the fact that I’m waking up at night due to itchiness. The skin is itchy and the incision is the worst. The stitches itch so bad sometimes I can’t even fall asleep. I will be so happy to get them out in a week. Icing my foot helps a bit, and keeping it elevated. The itchiness and the throbbing both seem to get worse when I put my foot down, I guess because all the blood rushes to it. I also still get random bone pain, and stabbing pain where the pin is inserted.

I’ve been trying to keep myself preoccupied but I’ve fallen into a bit of a funk lately being stuck inside. It hurts too much still to go out on crutches, but hopefully within a week or two that will change a bit. I’ve been trying to eat healthy but it’s not always easy. And it’s so hot here lately I feel like I’m melting.

I shall keep hanging on though. Trying to remember that this pain is temporary, and the bunion will be gone for good.
