I have not had a shoe on my right foot for 4 months! Some of you may know I have been dealing with right foot issues since 2008. I finally broke down and went to a Dr. in Oct. 2009. Here is the chronological break down of my saga since.
Oct. 2009 - Go to the Dr. for a sore ankle. Get MRI, Cat scan, and multiple x-rays.
Diagnosis - ligament damage and something else. Sent to see a foot Dr.
Oct. 2009 - Get boot for ankle. Needs to be supported for 6-8 weeks to heal. But there is something else there. You have a tumor (cyst) in your heel bone. Foot Dr. sends me to foot specialist.
Oct. 2009 - Specialist. You have a tumor (cyst) in your heel bone. Really needs to come out or risk driving the ankle bone into the heel plus we need to make sure it isn't cancerous.
Nov. 2009 - 8 weeks in boot over. Surgery for the heel the Monday before Thanksgiving. Surgery was a breeze but can't put weight on it for 4-6 weeks. Crutches and a walker here I come. Tumor is not cancerous!
Dec. 2009 - Six weeks later (New Year's Eve) I can walk, not well, but I can walk. The incision isn't healing.
Jan.2010 - Incision still not healing and body rejecting some of the material put in the bone. More surgery. Lots of stitches but the foot feels better. Less swelling and I can still walk on it.
Feb. 2010. - New incision not healing. The treatment this week is saline solution. Told I may have to have a skin graft.
Conclusion so far - Foot problems suck and I bet my right shoes don't fit my foot when this is finally over!

I think this could give you a great excuse to buy a whole new shoe wardrobe. And then new clothes because they'll need to match the shoes. Don't you agree?
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how long this has been going on. When all is said and done, the one thing you will really marvel about, is how you took for granted how effortlessly you can walk from Point A to Point B. Hang in there! It will eventually get "gooder."
ReplyDeleteWell that sucks! Sorry your foot is causing you so many problems. I am sorry we made you dance at Melissa's bachelorette party=)
