Saw the podiatrist yesterday, got another cortisone injection in my toe.  today it hurts horribly.  It didnt hurt like this last time.  We talked about the surgery for my two bone spurs, and the possibility of having it done to mesh the hysterectomy recovery w/ this one so I get it all done.  he was fine with it but wanted me to check w/ the gyn.   I talked to him today and he said he wants me mobile, but that being on crutches would satisfy him.  So we may do the foot thing first, as early as next Friday!!   then it’s two weeks no weight bearing then crutches I think, or right away crutches?  I dont know!   he compared the recovery as being similar to a broken bone, 6-8 weeks.  I was afraid to do it after the hysterectomy because I dont want to have to be sedentary again since being mobile after the hysto. will make the recovery quicker, I know this from the c-sections and having heard so from others online who have had hysterctomies.

I am anxious to get this all done w/ so the sooner the better and I’m sure I’ll be fine.  Anything is better than hobbling around in pain like I am today and not knowing when it will be over!

With any hope by my 30th birthday in January I’ll be doing sooo much better!!   but I’m already sleeping tons better, so that will help w/ the recoveries too.   So pray that we can get the surgery soon and I am well enough for the hysterectomy which is in about 5 weeks or so.
