Okay, so it's Tuesday night and Thursday is my surgery. The reason I'm writing this blog is because when my doctor first mentioned surgery as an option for the pain in my foot I was freaked out. As soon as we got home my mom and I instantly checked online for a website, blog, or article of a young girl that was getting a Lapidus Bunionectomy and to see if it would even be worth my time. We found nothing. But we did find a couple sites that gave some more background info on it that only made a lot scarier!! Anyways, right now, I am in a huge amount of pain. My bunion is so bad I can't even walk normally so I've been on crutches for the last month. :( 

 

May 6, 2013 - I went to see Dr. D for the first time. He mentioned surgery then, but didn't exactly recommend it quite yet. So he gave me cortisone shot and called it a day.

 

May 22, 2013 - This time, I needed the surgery. Only a week later my shot had completely worn off (but I don't   think my skating exactly helped either)  We then scheduled it for June 27, 2013...THAT'S A WHOLE MONTH AWAY!!!!!!!!

 I didn't know how I was going to last over an entire month!!! But somehow, I managed to survive. I really hope that this will be the blog that I wished I'd found when I was trying to make up my mind. I promise to keep you posted on my surgery and recovery. ENJOY!! :)
