Surgery Done!

Here is a picture of my bunion...


And here's after...


Do you see the color of my cast?? PURPLE!!! For those who know me, I'm infatuated with the color purple! I love love love it!

The before picture doesn't look horrible but it sure did hurt! Do you see that bone or hump that's sticking out on my right side of the foot? That's the bunion.

So, Troy and Ben took me to the hospital to drop me off. Luckily, it was Wednesday and Marianne (my MIL) was off work and she put Ryan on the bus. After my surgery, the hospital called Troy to come pick me up. I remember waking up but Troy said that I was really concerned that Marianne was there at home to get Ryan off the bus. I was also worried about Ben because he caught a little bug a couple of days ago and he was throwing up and had a fever. Again, thankfully Marianne took the kids so Troy could focus on me. I came home and I was out of it. I was so tired! After my numbness wore off, my pain medicine helped a little. I was in pain yesterday and the boys were driving me nuts because they were in my face. They were concerned about me but I couldn't take it. I was really super tired. But, I had some really nice things happen to me yesterday!

Ryan came home from school with this...

Then, I got my birthday gift from my sister Lindsey! She makes these watches! Her site is called Her Findings... *click on the link to see her store!*

Aren't they gorgeous?? I am so excited to wear one of them on Mother's Day to church! The top one is, of course, green but the other one is my favorite color, Purple!! Thanks Lindsey!

Then, my great FIL, Andy, let me borrow his awesome chair! I know it's totally ugly but it is sooooo comfortable!! It reclines up and down which is perfect because I need to have my leg elevated.

Anyway, back to my leg, I do have a walking boot but I'm on crutches right now. I don't want to walk on it yet.

I'm hoping that today, the day after surgery, I will be feeling better. Pray for me!
