Oh how I wish I could have a redo….

Well I went back to work exactly a week and a half before I asked if I could take a longer leave of absence.  I can’t handle the pain anymore.  It’s literally killing me inside both emotionally and physically. 

I went to the doctor for a follow up.  I was walking in a boot on the 24th of October with the surgery having been held on the 7th of September.  When I saw him this last Wednesday he even told me he thought i was walking too soon.  He said it was a mistake on his part. 

I went back to see him early.  I went in a day early because I left on Tuesday from work in the most utmost pain.  I told the doctor that i am in even more pain NOW then i was before.  He checked out my foot out and said with all the subtalar arthodesis’ he does (foot fusions), they all seem to have the heel pain which is where all my pain is coming from.  I cannot be on my foot more then 20 minutes and then the pain comes in.  It’s frustrating me.  I am without work right now.  Was told to pay my insurance full price for however long I am gone for.  My husband thinks i can go back in December.  I think more like January.  The doctor told me to walk now with the boot for another week and then switch into a shoe.  Uh….no.  Scared.  Very. Scared.  

So I’m on pain pills all day.  Lortab.  Makes me very hyper.  Fun.
