Feets getting better by the day

Full day so far in "normal shoes". With Pat's pair and the ones I found yesterday evening (6EE, still too long and a tinch narrow but I was in a hurry), I have not had to resort to my post-op shoes once today. I did bring them to work just in case, but I haven't needed them. Yay!

I walk less well now. I was getting FAST in the post-op shoes, and switching to "normal shoes" has set me back -- my speed is back to what it was several days or a week ago. I suspect a lot of that is a get-used-to-it thing.

According to my doctor this indicates I'm ready to use a brake pedal. THANK GOODNESS, 'cause the errands to do are piling up. (F'rex, get the car smog-checked and reregistered. Tougher to do once it's lapsed... which will be the day after tomorrow.)

All sign of bruising is gone. The skin color's a teensy bit different inside the Neutral Zone, which might be simply because it's a Neutral Zone. The boundary between the area I can feel and the area I can't seems way oversensitive to me. I suspect that'll fade with time. Phantom sensations continue to occur randomly.

Next appointment Friday. I hope she takes off the tape and tells me I can quit wrapping with Coban. It's time-consuming in the morning! Plus, hey, I WANNA SEE. :-)

Glad to hear it...

P.S.: Yeah, I'm back.
