Counting Down

Yes, I'm counting days.  8 and a wake up to be exact.  Past few days pins have been hurting all the time.  I sneezed yesterday and nearly cried at the pain.  Strange since its all been fairly pain free.  But others have told me its like this when the end is near.  The pins are ready to come out.  I skipped ROM and weight bearing yesterday.  Just tried to keep the foot really still and iced.  Even hitting small irregularities on my scooter was painful.  Today a bit better, but still stinging pretty good.  And I'm tired again.  Suddenly sitting with the foot up and taking naps again isn't such a bad idea.  Very interesting the phases this process goes through.  Looking forward to joining those of my on-line chat buddies who've recently had their hamster cages removed.  Really looking forward to moving the body again, in whatever capacity.  Feeling confident this part of the process has been successful and will work.  Anxious to hear what kind of physical therapy is in store.
