Makeup?
I have already managed a shower and have put on jeans today (instead of my comfy yoga pants or pajamas)--major accomplishments given it's only 8:30am. I am even going to attempt to style my hair and put on some make up so I don't look quite so grim all day. I feel pretty good. The showers are hard because I have to be a flamingo the whole time and my right leg has been doing a lot of work to compensate. I come out so tired and my leg starts to throb from being pointed downward for the whole 15 minutes. It's worth it to be clean though. I'm not sure how I'm going to feel on an airplane on Wednesday since I won't be able to keep the foot elevated. I'm kind of dreading the whole experience but really want to be in Maryland for Christmas. So, as long as the doctor says OK I'll suck it up and I'm going!

I am having this surgery soon along with the Dr cutting a piece of bone out to help with my high arch so this doesn't happen again. I am so scared, just the thought of being non-weight bearing is freaking me out. How did you do things like get down and up off yhe toilet? How did you take a shower because I was told NOT to get the bandages wet at all?? Any info/suggestions would help...Thank you, Stacy
