new feet

Spencer carried her to the car and she somehow managed to scoot herself into the wheelchair when we arrived at the doctors this morning.

Today she got the IV’s taken out of her feet and a new wrap job…but in between, we got our first glance at her reshaped feet.

I thought they  looked fabulous. Considering what they have been through:

incisions on both the left and the right  of each foot

two internal screws placed to hold the bones together that they sawed apart when realigning her toes

and the removal of  four bunions and 2 bursas.

She still has some serious swelling and there is the minor matter of being able to walk, but  her doctor assures her that will happen—quite soon.

That does look painful, but YAY for new feet and the blessing of modern medicine. Wishing you a speedy recovery, Melanie!
