Alhamdulillah, after 2 months of non weight bearing, making myself feeling slightly crazy not going to class, I am finally a-OK! Thumbs up! My specialist has given me the green light to walk again!

My 58th day post op. Dr yoga my ortho specialist said I am all good. I can start wearing my normal shoes.
“Can I start running doc?”
“Practice walking full weight bearing first…”

with kak @madiah_j who dropped by the hospital to meet me on the day i had an appointment with Dr Yoga. Kak Madiah was my school buddy when I was first posted teaching at a school in Pontian… Thank you dear kak for the honey from #foreverliving, mint plant and chocolates from langkawi..semoga murah rezeki hari jumaat!

Waiting for my turn from 1130 to 2pm at Colombia Asia Hospital. This was my last doctor’s visit! Yahoo!!

Traumatic fractures are caused by a direct blow or impact, such as seriously stubbing your toe. Traumatic fractures can be displaced or nondisplaced. If the fracture is displaced, the bone is broken in such a way that it has changed in position (malpositioned).

Signs and symptoms of a traumatic fracture include:

• You may hear a sound at the time of the break.
• Pinpoint pain (pain at the place of impact) at the time the fracture occurs and perhaps for a few hours later, but often the pain goes away after several hours.
• Crooked or abnormal appearance of the toe.
• Bruising and swelling the next day.

What I am experiencing is traumatic fracture!

The sutures were removed after 30 days and steri-strips (special Band-Aids) were applied. My foot was still wet in the shower but again, I just couldn’t help it.

What I did at home as post op care:

Elevate my foot with pillows. Get some foot massage.

Take pain medication as directed.

Make follow up appointment with Dr Yoga almost every week.  At these visits, x-rays were taken, a new sterile dressing was re-applied.

.

Do dressing on the wound- I always  got my dressings wet while bathing or taking wudhu…well what to do?

“Electrical” pains and swelling is normal according to my specialist. So bear with it.

And finally, to kill boredom, do online shopping!

Medical prescription dah bes dimakan. I am sooo tak sabar to get back on my feet, so order #amway supplements. Ada kwn rekomen #shaklee tapi x tau hati terbukak nk beli #nutrilite pulak. Ala mana2 supplements sama je….Asbab makan supplements ni mungkin wound boleh recover copek sikit 😚😚
