Stinginggggggg!

My foot has a new trick--the incision stings and burns and stings some more!  I googled it and also called my surgeon's office and found out this is good news.  It means the nerve endings around the surgery site are "waking up" and regenerating and healing.  For something good, it sure does hurt!  I thought I had an infection at the incision site; that's how intense this new kind of pain is.  Glad to know it's actually just part of the process.
Here are updated pics--Day 18 out from surgery.
