So Christmas Eve will be 6 months since my initial injury. These days, it seems like the trauma of the initial injury, and the drama of recovery are far behind me. Yes, I am reminded of my injury daily, as I still have a stiff foot in the am, and depending on the day, sometimes a slight limp. Yes, my foot is still bigger than the other. But - I have no pain, no swelling, and almost all days carry on as normal. My anxiety is building a little bit though - as on the 21st I will have my hardware removed. I know this is a pretty routine surgery, and I know the recovery should be quick - for just taking 2 screws out of the Lisfranc joint. But - I really do not look forward to "The day", post-op pain, and of course - having to potentially stay off the foot for a few days? weeks?
I'll report back post surgery and over the Christmas break in terms of the recovery.
I do look forward to 2012 - and bidding good riddance to the Lisfranc Gods on New Year's Eve ;-)
