Road to recovery

Doc informed that it'll probably be another month or 2 before I can wear shoes again. In the meantime, I should 'air' my toes as much as possible...if keep it wrapped up too long, might have infection, etc...





(L) 20070530 First time my toe was exposed to light after surgery

(R) covered up nicely after wound dressing





(L) before dressing done by my cousin Nie on 20080601
(R) 2 days later, I DIY-ed wound dressing on my own



Two weeks after surgery, I had removal of stitches (20080605) - one of the most painful moments in my life! Imagine the nurse pulling at each 'thread' to create some space for the scissors. There were 4 stitches, all were ran through my flesh and anchored to my remaining nail.






Tadaa...out of the woods, painful...but nothing I can't survive ;)

Hope by all's well by end Jul...I'm so looking forward to my Bali trip with LiLi and TinChoo
