Tomorrow we have tickets for a movie screening of The Thirst, a Japanese vampire movie. It's suppose to be good, just sutitled so hopefully it will be ok. I know Dave is worried about my standing in line. Although we have tickets, it's first come, first serve. He doesn't want me to standing in line for hours. The place is out of the way by Houston St. Don't think there is much there in the way of restaurants. Love going to these things with him. He gets tickets for these things cause of his Twitter account, Smell the Cheese. I'm married to the Cheese.
I had a really nice time going to Remy's party on the roof. Got some awesome night time shots of Manhattan. It was the first night out since the surgery. Have to say it was tough doing all that walking with the subway and all. The crowded trains made me alittle paranoid that someone was going to step on THE FOOT.
The bandages came off today like the Invisible Man. This time for good. It was pretty nasty with the heat and all. By Sunday when it all heals I can soak it in water. Can not wait for that! The stitches came out. Can't understand why the toes are still red. Maybe it was the stupid bitch nurse that unwrapped it like a savage. Damn, be gentle, I just had surgery.
Dave has to go in for an endo tomorrow morning. He's been so busy with my foot that he's walking around bleeding. Think he has a bleeding ulcer. Usually Dr. Frankenstein does his own wounds, but not this time. He also has to stay away from the Mexican food, tomato sauce and coffee.

OMG That's horrible. What are you going to feed him? I hope you guys get feeling better soon.
I feel like that Hitchcock movie where you are laid up in the house with nothing to do. I'm not looking out the window watching murders or anything but I've been taking various photos of my foot with photoshop. Either I'm going stir crazy or it's the drugs, hehe, but the foot pics are kind of cool and at least I'm having fun. I have to suck it up with the antibiotics I guess cause the foot looks better. I miss the bolt though. It gave it character.
Damn latex was in the bandage or tape and I got a reaction to it. They can pierce me , do surgery, tattoo me but I always get some kind of freak reaction to something. You know that 1% of the population with the side effects, tha't me. Now they gauze up the foot with tape but no bandages. Of course I'm on antibiotics too. I'll be cultivating bread next.
I got really freaked out last when I noticed the bolt was bent and twisted. It had hurt like hell and it was swollen. First reaction was oh shit, an infection. Dave thought I would pass out when he twisted it back in place. Are you kidding me. He would pierce my ear and say at the count of 3. Then pierce it at 1 and 1/2. Dr. Frankenstein here can take care of everything. It pisses me off that I am really good, I stay off my foot, elevate it and all, yet this shit always happens. Last summer it was a reaction to the latex. Can't win!
Dave loves this foot doctor so much. He says he is amazing what he did to my foot. He wants him to be his doctor too and there's nothing wrong with his feet. He says we should bring the puppy there too cause she has knarled up toes just like her mama.
My foot hurts where the bolt is. Wonder if Frankenstein had that problem. However, he had it on his neck so he didn't have a shoe rubbing against it. No idea how long the bolt stays in. Makes it very difficult to wear a shoe. Dave went out yesterday and bought me a new shoe. The one from the hospital was hard as a rock and it was huge. I may have a Frankenstein foot but it's teeny, tiny.
I swear I have a hump on my foot where the bolt is. Did Frankenstein have a hump? No, Igor did! And it hurts! My BFDD, or DeeDee, is guarding the foot. She barked at the cat yesterday cause she came too close to THE FOOT.
It's funny how each of us sees something different. While one person says ah how beautiful, another says eww, gross!. Today I went for my first follow-up after the surgery. I had visions of a Borg foot. with the Borg technology on the toe like Seven has on her face. It was amazing, no swelling. Just bruising, nothing like previous years when my foot looked like a tree trunk. The doctor is incredible. Works miracles. Then I saw not cybernetics but rather a Frankenstein bolt coming out of my big toe. fFrst thing Dave says is wow, it's freaking amazing, just like Frankenstein. He takes pictures, of course, and sends it to Matt. Matt says eww, it's a Frankenfoot. Don't tell mom. One says oo,ah and the other thinks it's rather gross. I was never looking for beauty just a normal foot, without pain. I was amazed that I could even walk on it the next day. The bolt gives it character. When it comes out , Dave will probably make it into an earring.

:) I am glad you are doing well and yes- stupid nurse. lol
I'm glad it went well for ya...and I can imagine Dave making that earrring lol
The nurse calls today to find out how I am. Nice, right? Then she says remember me, I stepped on your good toe while you were waiting for surgery. Is it ok she asked! Stupid bitch! I guess I was in the right place to fix it. The doctor would say when did I have to fix this one. When your nurse stepped on it while I was in waiting room. Do these things only happen to me?
Had the surgery 2 days ago. Hurt like hell on Friday. Yesterday I just felt sick. It was more extensive than I thought. He put in a joint replacement by the big toe joint and a disolvable pin for the 3rd toe.Wonder if my toe is like Oddjob's hat in the Bond movie. Can I use it as a weapon. Watch out Dave, don't piss me off. I'll take out your kneecap.
