I had my 6 week post surgery follow-up appointment today and all is well. The Dr once again reminded me to have patience with the foot numbness. He said the good news is that I do have feeling in the foot, which means my nerve is intact it's just going to take time for it to fully heal. He also reminding me that it's only been 6 weeks and that my level of numbness has gone down since the initial surgery.
Two other pieces of good news:
Since I'm not experiencing any pain I do not need to have a follow-up appointment. He did say when we got to Texas he wants me to find a new primary care physician and make sure they are aware of my history and of course if I do start experiencing any pain to let him know and he could refer me to a Neurosurgeon.
He also gave me the ok to start easing back into training. Although he made it quite clear that it needs to be very eeeeaaaassssyyyy, like try jogging 10-15 seconds and see how I feel.
So I'm very happy but I promise I will take it very easy. I'm going to keep up my walking for this week, see how I feel and then possibly add 10-15 second job intervals in per 2-3 minutes of walking and see how it feels. I'm definitely not going to push this and end right back at square one.
On the move side of things we are just f 2 weeks shy of closing on the house and heading to Texas. It's still so hard for us to believe that this day has finally arrived. We are nervous, scared and excited at the same time.
Cheers to new adventures!!
