bunions

Yep, that's my foot and yes, they're sporting a healthy pair of bunions (just below the big toe joint).

They've been coming on steadily since Tamsyn was born and I finally got to see the surgeon last Tuesday.  I'm booked in for surgery this Monday, apparently it's more complicated than just removing the lump, a pin needs to be inserted and other stuff played with.
 
So I'll be wearing a special shoe for six weeks and won't be able to walk very far (doggy won't be impressed!), but if in the long run it means that I'll have a lot more energy, less lethargy and won't walk with a slight limp then I'll be happy.

  1. You have my sincere sympathy! When my feet hurt, I hurt all over! When you get home after surgery, please do take care of yourself, and wear that cute boot everywhere you go! Don't have so much pride that it doesn't have a chance to heal well! You'll be sorry! ---"Love"

  2. My cousin had both feet done at the same time and she has had no problem since they healed. I am sure you will feel much better once you have it fixed.

  3. My sister has two really bad bunions and has put off surgery for years. I'll be interested in how you go.

  6. You poor wee thing! I hope the surgery gives you the relief that you seek and that it all goes well. The dog will survive (just). Take care, Ann :-)

  8. Oh no! I hope your surgery goes well!! Be prepared for some physical therapy (aka physiotherapy your way). I have a bunionette (on the outside of the foot) on my right foot. I feel your pain. *hugs* Christine

  9. All will be better when this is over, I'm sure. Take care of yourself and mend well--easily said, right? Moms tend to try and take care of everything, but take any help you can on this one. Mary
