update-on-right-foot-swelling

This is my last post for 2008. Wow! I’m sitting here in my recliner typing on my laptop. I have terrible heartburn from the prednisone the doc put me on for the rash and swelling in my right foot.

The swelling has gone down and the rash has calmed way down, but neither is quite gone completely. The heartburn is just about unbearable. I don’t think I’m gonna be awake to bring in the New Year which is just a little over an hour away because I can hardly stand the heartburn. Gotta lay down.

It’s been bad for a few days, but normally it seemed to be worse at night, but it’s been off and on all day today. If it’s not better tomorrow I’m going to have to call a doc. :(

Body heal thyself! LOL

On a better note my incision is finally healing up well. It wasn’t quite closing up so I’ve left it uncovered for the past few days and it’s finally closing up completely. Whew!

I’m still on crutches and not walking on my foot yet. I don’t want to put any pressure on my foot until the incision heals up. Don’t want extra pressure re-opening it.

Here’s to health and wellness in 2009!!
