Hello everyone -

Thanku for all thinking about me. I am now home and pleased to be here.

Can't remember too much about the op - know there were a few probs bringing me round - but I'm here - so must've been fine in the end.

Wednesday was the worst day - the pain was unbearable and I wasn't too quiet about it. The surgeon believed that my lupus was playing me up a bit and that the nerve endings in my right foot were having a little objection to the wires that have been inserted through my toes. They cut off the plaster on Thursday morning and replastered a little looser to see if it made a difference - the only other option was to operate and remove the wires - but neither the surgeon or I thought that was a good option and that would have led to too many compications. The replastering appears to have lessened the pain a little and I am also taking some "horse pills" (they are mammoth) used for epilsepy of all things to try and control the spasms in my right foot. Good job really - any guy standing by my foot when it shot up in the air would be leaving the room with a high voice else!!!!!!!!!!! Along with pain meds I hope to keep it all in check.

So - have left the confines of the hospital and back to my moors with my room with a view - sense of humour intact (I think). Got to go back into hospital again next Friday and be x-rayed and replastered again - but hopefully all will go smoothly.

Finding it hard to do anything - and I fall asleep at the drop of a hat - will try and catch up with the threads and see what everyone has been up to - just need to keep my eyes open for more than 15 mins! Hope everyone has been well and life has been treating you good.

I wouldn't have made it thru this without the A2K keeping my wits about me so I thanku all and for all the well wishes. You are stars

There she is, good to see you perking, Izzie, while I know you must have so much to deal with. At the same time, you are engaged, this is all interesting, and you have this as a starter diary of your feelings. Rest well.

Hi there Izzie, good to get your update.

Thanking you - will rest up and keep you in the picture as to my recovery. Sure all will be fine - staying very positive these days with a little help from my friends.

You're all fab

Glad yer back, Izzie.

Glad to be here Rockhead - I loved your song - thanku so much - I really do believe that - you have no idea hun

I believe that some angels have been wrapping their wings round me for the last few weeks - and made a huge difference to my life - so your music was very apt. Bless your heart

You are very welcome, and keep on keepin' on.

Hi Izzie-- we haven't met 'cause lately I haven't been able to spend 75% of my life on a2k as I normally would like to But I just read through this thread and I wanted to add my best wishes for a speedy recovery, and to tell you I'm so impressed with your positive outlook and your sense of humor while you've been going through all this! You are one brave lady.... and hey, let me tell you this as a girl who is too tall to wear heels--they are making some damn cute flat-soled shoes these days, so all is not lost!

Geezlouise, Cypher, I didn't know you are TALL!! (I will just presume you know I'm teasing, since you know me.)


Izzie, be you, we believe in you.

Cheers CypherCat

The flattie brigade will do just fine I reckon! Good to meet you - sure we will see each other around - A2K is my strength these days so will be hanging out with the good folk here and checking in regularly. Thanks for posting

Izzie,

Welcome home! You are a very brave strong woman. Glad to hear your surgery is over and you are OK. Take care and keep us posted.

*cough*....do I mention being tall too often? I guess I have mentioned it a time or two or ten... heh...

No, actually, I don't remember that, though maybe a wee little bit. Whatever, I like tall people,



as well as some shorts. Plenty of shorts. What is the height deal anyway?



As long as you don't ask the guy if he plays basketball, as I did on my first date. (die, die, die)

Izzie--

The dust will never settle on your Shoe Shrine. Welcome back.
