Sorry for being so desperate BUT ....

Posted , 7 users are following.

Ok peeps. I really am so sorry for being so needy but i am so worried as i am due to be back at work in a few weeks. I am 9.5 weeks (both feet scarf and akin).

I am lucky enough to have a phased return to work, but i really thought i would be further on than i am just now. I took a walk up to my local post office this afternoon - it took me 30 minutes there and back - would usually only be 10-12 minutes. The time doesnt really worry me as much as the pain that i was in whilst walking. When i got back the swelling was really bad and the amount of heat on my feet was horrendous. If i cant even manage a simple journey like that how on earth am i going to be able to work? I will be on my feet all the time. I dont see my surgeon again either as i was discharged from him at week 6. Just didnt think i would be in pain walking at this stage. Has anyone else had this at my stage and come out the other end ok? Thankyou so much in advance

     Well done you, bet it felt brilliant to regain some freedom today, keep that going. 

    I tried Sketchers on pre op, very comfy but didn't buy though, can't think why. Probably yearning for something wildly impractical for a normal shape foot instead!!
