I got into the doctor yesterday. One of the staples from the previous surgery came loose, and the fusion isn't stable anymore. So basically I'm back where I was 4 years ago and have to have surgery again. And I have a very valid reason why I couldn't finish the marathon. I have a staple popping out and pushing on nerves - which really hurts. And a bone sliding out of place.
Surgery is next Thursday.
I'm trying really hard to be positive and to find ways to make it easier this time. I've put together a list of exercises I can do. I'm figuring out what I need to move around the house to make working here easier. And I'm scrambling to move work and personal appointments. Best case scenario is walking very early in the new year. And hopefully avoiding the worst of winter.
I had to cancel my shoulder appointment. I can't do anything about it until my foot is better. I haven't tried using crutches yet, I'm not sure how that's going to feel. Could be really bad. I can't decide if it's better or worse to know what I'm walking (or not walking as the case may be) into.
