I went to see my foot doctor today. He looked at it and then he pulled the pin out. It didn't hurt at all. I thought it was going to be long but it was really short. Now the important part... he told me that I could stop using my boot! Yay!! He told me that I can start working out. I can bike and swim but I still can't quite run yet. Maybe a few more weeks and then I can run. Another thing I get to do now... take showers!! Waaahooo!! I've been taking baths for the last 5 weeks and I'm sick of it!
Ok, I'm going to post a picture of my foot and it might gross you out. If it does, then I'm sorry! I just wanted to post it to compare the before picture!
Here's before...
Here's after...
Wow! That is amazing!! Can you believe how cool that is? My foot looks almost weird now because I've lived with my bunion all my life. Now that it's gone, my foot looks crazy weird!! What do you think??I do notice that my big toe looks pretty swollen still. And yes, it looks like I need to cut my toe nail. I haven't been able to do it for 5 weeks. Sorry if that grosses you out.
I'm happy now that I can get back to my life. I'll be glad too when I can start running again... but I'm stoked to start riding my bike! I just got a brand new bike for my birthday too! Wahoo!!

Hi Bethany! I'm so glad you found my blog! And I love this post, it's exactly how I feel! I broke one of the little bones in the top of my foot this week, and I'm SO bummed the doc told me I can't run or do anything I LOVE to do for 2 weeks! So not as long as you, I would die! But, at least you have your boot off, I've got mine blah! And you can go biking and swimming, and before summer's over, great!
