My new set of X-rays are due on the 17th! I've almost been home for an entire month and it is seriously crazy to think about!!!
I just wanted to give you all an update on my feet. The infection is gone and since I've been wrapping my feet differently I have not gotten another infection.
Every time I shower I scrub my feet and get off all the dead skin. My feet have never looked so good in my life!! HAHA!
I have been using hydrogen peroxide at the pin sites and my toes every other day to keep it clean! It has severely helped with not getting another infection.
I noticed that around the pin sites they were getting extremely dry and cracking and it was hurting my so I have been using a clean q-tip to apply vaseline around the pin sites and it has helped dramatically.
I asked Dr. K if I could remove the stitches from the little incision he made to break the bone and he said sure. I took the stitches out and the area has been healing wonderfully! I don't think I'll even have a scar!!
I heard back a couple days ago about my x-rays and Dr. K says they look great and that I should keep turning at my ¼ turn a day rate. This made me a little sad because I was hoping to go faster but I know that slow and steady wins the race and that it will be worth it in the end.
I also use this all natural cream on my feet every other day to help keep them soft and keep the skin from getting dry and cracked making sure to stay away from any opening. Don't want to go near those.
I feel really great! I don't have pain anymore at all. I haven't needed to take a pain pill in many days and it's really nice!
I'll show you guys an update on my length! With these pictures you can really see the difference! The photo on the left shows length prior to turning and the photo on the right shows length as of today!! 12-14-16. What a difference already.
My next X-rays are this Saturday on the 17th and I'm excited to see the difference and hopefully will be able to get the pictures off the disk to show you all.
