Battered and bruised

It's a week today that I went down to theatre for a much needed foot fusion. The bruising is now coming out and tomorrow I am into my second week of non weight bearing misery. I have to keep off it for 8 weeks and then I might be able to have a semi-weight bearing pot on for a month plus depending on healing. I've never know time drag so slowly! Only good point is it's a fiber-glass pot and so much lighter than the pot type.

Thank you for all your lovely comments favs and well wishes. All lift my spirits tremendously.

So sorry for your operation. It looks so painful. I've had a foot operation myself on one foot. It was so miserable that I keep putting off having the operation on the other. Take care.

[Kathy]

Sorry to hear you had surgery. Never fun. Hope your recovery is uneventful! Can't wait to see how you fill your time with your camera with no weight bearing. You're clever enough that that won't keep you down.

Sorry to see you like this but like 'good things come to an end' so do the not so good ones. Get well soon.

[Dianne]

Keep positive - it will be worth it in the end. Sending kind thoughts your way.

[Christine]

Oh poor you. Keep positive. I sympathise as I was out of action with a broken leg last year. Keep occupied and time will go quicker.

[Jerome]

Oh, looks bad. Wish you a speedy recovery!

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

I hope that your recovery time is faster than expected! Take advantage of being laid up and allow yourself to be treated like the Queen!

[Louise & Ken]

Oh bless your heart! On the up side (if there's an upside!) we can convalesce with our friends here who truly do care about our recovery! I'm plugging along since I had stomach surgery the end of January, and am on an annoyingly limited diet until the end of April. 365 does five us something to take a mind off our situation...

[Rosie Kind]

Oh Margaret I have just realised you have had the same type of op as I had last June. I just hope yours is more successful than mine as I still get a lot of pain. Get better soon
