This post is for you!<\/p>\n<p>The leg braces I wore for the past 3 years were starting to wear down my knees. But because the heel of my left foot could not reach the floor, they couldn&#8217;t fit me into better ones. So mission #1 &#8211; completely rebuild the foot.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s what I had done on June 10th. Now, I&#8217;m a strong girl. I&#8217;ve gone through a ton of crappy things in my life, but I&#8217;ve always felt that everything I&#8217;ve gone through has made me stronger. \u00a0This past week of recovery has definitely been the hardest thing I&#8217;ve ever done.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;\" href=\"http:\/\/hollyvandyne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/footFINAL.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hollyvandyne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/footFINAL-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"298\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>On my left foot my surgeon did eight major and two minor surgeries. I have 8 incisions. I couldn&#8217;t look at it before they casted it on the 11th. He told my husband that it looked like it was in a shark attack. When I finally had the guts to look at it tonight I see just how right he was.<\/p>\n<p><i>Shark Bait Hoo Ha Ha.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>This was what my foot looked like this morning. My surgeon said it looks good &#8211;&gt;.<br \/>\nHa.<br \/>\nBut then I came home to an unspeakable amount of pain that my pain medication is barely making a dent in. I hope it&#8217;s better tomorrow. I&#8217;ve had a few people ask me when I&#8217;m getting my other foot done. At this point, never. But we&#8217;ll see once it&#8217;s healed. Maybe I&#8217;ll change my mind someday so I&#8217;ll have matching feet. Maybe someday I&#8217;ll forget how badly this one hurt. Maybe.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"http:\/\/hollyvandyne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/blog_sig.gif\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hollyvandyne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/blog_sig.gif\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>**WARNING** If you have a queasy stomach, like I do, and don&#8217;t like looking at medical things like stitches and incisions, you may want to consider NOT reading this post.
