So I started taking 600mg of Motrin instead of the Vicodin and it has been amazing. A MA Z I N G ! ! ! I am actually walking around the house today without any crutches or pain. Some uncomfortableness but not the pain I was in. I am taking it every 6 hours except when I sleep and I will try to take it at least 30 minutes before I get up in the morning. I have to stay on top of it.

I have also kept my foot down. not sure if this is the best decision or not. My foot is much more swollen since I have it down all day but I am not having the pain from having to acclimate it from being up to being down. This is when I was having the most pain. Especially after sleeping all night with it up and then trying to put it down to get out of bed. So while it may be helping with the pain, it is making the swelling worse. So I will keep an eye on that.

I am just so happy to be walking again. I have lost a lot of feeling which they said might happen. But they didn't tell me I wouldn't be able to move a toe. It may still just be recovering, but I can not move my second to last to at all. It has some feeling on one side of it, but as of right now I can not bend it on my own.

The girls went to work with Daddy today so I could have a break. They took the "train" (light rail system) and loved it. Steven said they were the talk of the office. People even asked to go to lunch with them just to spend more time with them. That is too funny. One of the guys who choose to go just had a baby girl. Steven said he kept looking at them all wide eyed and wondering if this is what he has to look forward to. Ah, my girls. Life of the party.
