Well it’s been six days since the pin was removed and my foot is slowly getting better each day. It certainly hurts a lot less! I am no longer on crutches which is awesome.

I got my pin out yesterday! It was epically exciting! My foot feels sooo much better! And I took a video of it!

Wow, despite my foot it’s been a pretty crazy week for me. This past weekend I went home to Vancouver for my dad’s 60th birthday. Steve rented a wheelchair for me on the ferry because of the long walk to the passenger pick-up. It was quite interesting with everyone staring at me! At least we got a ride to the ferry terminal from a friend so I didn’t have to try to catch two buses with my foot being the way it is.

Yesterday I had an appointment with my naturopath who I’ve been seeing for a while. It is only about a ten minute walk from my place, so I figured I could get there no problem. I left nearly half an hour before the appointment, and still struggled to be on time. I hate crutches SO much! Not to mention, it was 24 degrees celsius outside, so I was really hot. I managed to hobble home as well, but when I got home, my arms were so sore, and my wrists were scraped up from the pins on my crutches. It was awful.

Today is even worse. I can barely move or type. Every single muscle in my body is just aching, including every arm muscle, the muscles in my good leg, and muscles running down my back. I’ve been taking lots of Robaxacet and using Icy Hot Gel which has been a Godsend, honestly! I seriously had no idea crutches hurt so much though. Ugh.

I won’t be moving again for a while.

I have a long day ahead of me… I actually have to work a full shift until 6:00pm, and then I catch the ferry to head to Vancouver for my surgery (I live in Victoria B.C.). My parents are in Vancouver, so my mom is picking me up tonight, taking me for surgery tomorrow, and then driving onto the ferry with me and taking me back to Victoria.

Instead of having to buy crutches, my grandma had a pair from when she broke her hip, some very nice, aluminum, barely used, adjustable crutches. They are at my parents’ house, so I haven’t had a chance to practice using them.

I had better get ready for work now. It will be sad saying goodbye to all my co-workers; I work with some of the nicest people in the world. Hopefully some of them will come visit me.

I am so nervous about tomorrow! Wish me luck!
