Day 4 - Post Op

Not a whole lot of new stuff to report today. The foot continues to improve although there are still times where there is a shooting pain in the joint. I can tell that the foot is quite bruised up as I can see a lot of discoloration right at the edges of the bandages that is covering the foot. I have my first follow-up appointment with the doctor on Thursday so that will be my first chance to see how the foot looks in all it's glory. Right now, the really ugly stuff is mostly covered. They'll also take some fresh x-rays at that point so we'll be able to get an idea of how the healing is coming along.

I'm trying to stay patient and to not push things too much, but as my walking continues to improve, I just can't help but spend more time on my feet. I'm an antsy person by nature. Tomorrow will be my first day in the office (I've been working from home the past 2 days), so that will be another test. I have close to a mile walk from the train station to my office. I'm a little nervous about it, but if things continue to progress, I'm hoping it should go OK.

Today was the first day we're I actually feel like I have realistic shot at running again this year. Up until now, the thought of running on my foot kind of made me sick to my stomach, but today for whatever reason, I have a bit more confidence. Hopefully that confidence will continue to improve as well.
