Paul Bunion is back

So it is in fact a bunionette. Doc was wrong, but it's ok, he not a podiatrist. They x-rayed my foot and we took a look at it and it is a bunion. *Sigh*

The guy I saw yesterday said I would have to meet with another doctor (the one who will do the surgery) to discuss surgical options to remedy the problem. There are a few I guess. It will be awhile though because he’s a specialist and is apparently one of the best. So I am meeting with him May 27th to discuss my options, so the story will continue then.

My stupid feet, I’m too young for this.

The Saga Continues...

So, I went to Doc today, to check out my foot. He looked at it for almost a minute and pressed it a little and then said, "Huh..." Let me tell you, you do not want to go to a doctor and have them say "huh" to anything on your body. He felt the bones in my toe and foot, he said it was not a bone issue, so I guess it isn't a bunion. He also told me that because of the way my feet were created by God, I would have issues with my feet.

He looked and poked and then said, "I think that there is an infection and I really want to stick a needle in it and see what comes out...but I won't." He looked up at me. "Thanks," I responded. He looked at it a little longer and told me he didn't think he was the one to deal with this. He's a lovely man, he's a friend of the family and because he couldn't do anything he didn't let us pay. God truly uses people to bless others, and I noticed...thank you God.

He referred me to a podiatrist. I'm going tomorrow to see what's really wrong.

The Saga of Paul Bunion Begins

Ok, so a few weeks ago my foot started hurting on the outside part of my foot, under the little toe. I didn't really think much of it at the time, but it kept hurting and it was very red. Last week it started getting tender to the touch and I had to be careful what shoes I was wearing. I said that if it didn't get better soon I'd go and see a doctor.

Discussing this with my girlfriends, and thinking perhaps it was a bunion (but not really knowing what that was), they named it Paul (Paul Bunion you see). So when I got home I looked on the world wide web and webmd, to see if I could find anything out. Based on the feel and the look of it, it did appear to be a bunion...well actually it appears to be a bunionette, as a bunion is on the big toe side.

So I started freaking out a little bit, because it seems to be more serious than I thought and I made an appointment with Doc. I was away for the weekend and it has started hurting across the top of my foot and underneath a little. So I'm glad that I am headed to the doctor today.

Check out how much different it looks than the left foot!

I will let you know what happens.

Thankful Thursday 2

In no particular order:

1. Days when I feel absolutely no pain or discomfort in my body (I complain so much when I'm sick I feel as though I need to be thankful for days that are the opposite).

2. Girlfriends with whom I can be myself, who bring me joy and who love me.

3. Little miracles, where God is revealed to me, everyday.

Psalm 30:11-12 You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy, that I might sing praises to you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever!
