"it's totes not my fault, like 4 realz"

So, folks know that basically, I can't feel my right foot. Right? well, now you know.

It's not swollen, but it's numb...all along the top and sides. My OS saw me yesterday to rewrap the post surgical splint/xray/take a look. She wanted to make sure the stuff wasn't too tight(It wasn't). She strongly felt that this had to do w/ my back. And, after all of the crazy stuff my back did, I was certainly willing to consider that. She made it very clear that she had been "no where near any nerves that could result in what I'm describing"-she said she'd send her notes to my back doc. I have my actual post op w/ her next Tuesday.

I called and left a message w/ my back surgeon. They promptly called back 1st thing this morning. The doctor had reviewed the MRI done on the 27th(a day pre-op) and said that he saw "nothing that would contribute to what i was describing". His nurse expressed that the logical conclusion to "my foot wasn't numb, then i had surgery on my leg. Annnnnd now it is" would be: something  happened during the surgery. Or that the hardware was compressing a nerve (if you've seen my xray- basically, my right fibula is almost all metal now-look at the top of the page). She recommended that I, again, talk to the leg doc.

So, I, being the "Type A when it comes into question if I'm going to be able to walk again" personally that I (apparently) am,  called the leg doc and left a message. She called back and AGAIN asserted that she really didn't think she did anything to my nerves and that it make perfect sense that my back is back in play or I'm swollen. We agreed to wait until next Tuesday. If my foot is still numb, "we're" going to order an EMG. Well, at least she calls me.

So, yep. I'm going to stop talking about my numb foot until tuesday. Unless, it stops....or something terrible happens. Then you won't be able to shut me up :)
