CAUTION! A Picture Montage of Paul Bunion

Thank you for following my story of Paul Bunion for the last 3/4 of a year. This is my story of Paul Bunion as shown in pictures...some of them are graphic (just to warn you).

First there was a bump (April 2009):
Then there was a surgery(July 2, 2009):

Then there was a large bandage, crutches and a medical boot (and getting over the antiseptic which really tore me up):


And I was drugged out of my mind for about over week (and then mildly drugged for another few weeks):

Next the stitches came out (my foot looks weirdly flat on the outside now) and the wound was covered with a big bandage that meant I still had to keep it out of the shower:

About a month later the big bandage came off (woo hoo for real showers once again):



While healing rather well, I then ran into a shopping cart and injured other parts of my foot:


All of the bandages are gone now and the scar is healed (though still very obvious). I am beginning to be able to lie on my right side again after almost 10 months of not. It is still very sore if it get's hit and my little toe is still not quite right, but I think it's about as good as it's gonna get. Thanks for sharing my journey!

















Thanks for sharing this journey with me. I'm glad to be mostly better!
