I really appreciate everyone's support.
Yes, Sabby, I definitely had adrenaline running to get myself through the surgery. I think living out in the middle of nowhere, where I can't see other people really got on my nerves this past week. I think the pain medication dragged my mood down too.
Then there are the bills that keep on coming. Sigh...
Anyway today I got good news from the doctor. There is no swelling on the foot on which he did the most work. On the other foot, where he removed my inflamed nerve, the incision was red, so he has prescribed some antibiotics for me.
The best news -- I can now shower again!!!!
I can also walk as much as I can tolerate. I still need to keep the surgical sneakers on, b/c his work on my pinky toe involved cutting bone, and the neuroma removal on my right foot required a deep incision.
Regarding my cancelled class this summer, I have been sending out other inquiries to other colleges to make sure I will have as many classes as I want to teach in the Fall.
I really appreciate everyone's caring notes. It really means a lot to me.
