Hello everyone!
I hope you all had a wonderful New Years day! It was sad that this new year for me I wasn't able to go out and celebrate but it's okay. My new feet are the beginning of my new year and it's so worth it! I got X-rays done so I thought I would post those and give you all a little update on how I'm doing!
I'm in more pain now than I ever have been throughout the whole process. Dr. K said that when I got to this point I may not be able to walk as well and boy was he right. Walking is terrible painful because I have so much space in between my bones! I'm so close as well I'm nearly at length!! I will post picture of what my toes look like as well. It's crazy to see my feet look "normal". I'm also having issues with the wires going through the tip of my toes. Now that my toes are long and at the proper length basically the wires stick out far and point downwards. This causes issues for me that result in a lot of pain. They are tapped on everything because they stick out farther that my big toe and I always am tapping it or hitting it on things and it hurts like crazy! They also hit the floor/bottom of my medical shoes as well. This causes my toe to be pushed upward and results in excruciating pain! I am now walking weirdly by putting my weight on my heels/inside of my feet. My ankles are now so sore and painful because of the way I'm walking due to these wires! I contacted my Dr. and I am waiting got hear back from them on whether or not I can get these removed prior to the whole device removal. I am willing to fly out there to get these taken out!!!
Other than that I am doing extremely well!! No infection which is amazing. Skin is healing really well and my feet look amazing. I also am trying anything and everything to make my bones heal fast! I am taking vitamins such as calcium, fish oil, D3, and magnesium. These are all good for bone growth! I also purchased helichrysum essential oil that I am going to mix with coconut oil and rub on my feet. It is known for restorative properties and can help with bone healing and scars! I also purchased a TENS device. These devices emit electronic pulses to help with deep tissue massaging. I put one pad on the bottom of each foot and it helps with pain and discomfort and contracts my muscles it feels great. I am also hoping because of the frequency that it emits that it will also help with bone growth because it's at that sweet spot were bone grows. Fingers crossed. I am so ready for this to be over I'm going a little crazy. Especially because it is winter time I can do nothing more that just sit around at home. SOON SO SOON......
