Vanna's Bum Flipper: 6 Weeks Post-Op

I had my 6 week post-op appointment on Nov 1st, and what a happy day it was! Dr. Senall said everything looked GREAT!! I thought I would be getting my second cast, but things were progressing so well that Dr. S. put me in an air boot. I am still non weight bearing for the next few weeks, but at least I can wash and shave my little leg. Seriously... It's so thin I can feel my tibia and fibula.

I did, unfortunately, have to pull out two halves of stitches that they missed at my first follow up appointment. I'll allow it...it was a pretty gross mess.

The scar!

Boots and boots and all the boots. I'll be going as robocop for halloween next year

It's so weird to be in the least amount of pain I've been in for the last few years, but like I said, I haven't started weight bearing yet.

Outside of my foot issues, it's been a busy few weeks since my last blog post. I saw Bon Jovi with my mom for the third time this year (Tampa, once. Chicago, twice). It was an AMAZING show. The band has never disappointed us. Since the show ran very late, I decided to stay the night at her house instead of Aaron coming to pick me up at the United Center at 11pm. I am very glad I did because little did I know, that next morning would the last time I would see one of my best friends in the world, my dog Pepsi. My mom came home from work that night and found Pepsi in an indescribable amount of pain, sprawled out in the floor, and unable to move. My mom told me that she just new it was time to put her down. Pepsi was 15 years old. She had a very good life...we spoiled her rotten. It's still really sad, but each day gets easier.

The best in the world. I will always miss you Pepsi!

Halloween was pretty weak. It's one of my favorite holidays, and the cast and crutches made my costume choices very limited. Since Aaron and I loved The Book of Mormon musical, we dressed as Mormon missionaries. Very simple costume for a small house party at a friends house.

Hello, would you like to change religions, I have a free book written by JESUS

We went to our first Blackhawks game of the season on an extreme whim last week. I had a friend text me at 10 minutes to game time that tickets on stubhub were 10$ each. We ended up buying tickets and booked it over to the UC. We missed about half the first period, but the game was great, and the hawks won!
