Week 8 April 30. 2017
For the most part, I forget I have had the operation. The pain in my toe has subsided to the point where it is about the same as it was prior to surgery. I am now hopeful that it will quietly fade away completely.
I will continue to post updates at irregular intervals, but there really isn't much to say now.

Week 6
Week 6 - Wednesday 5 April 2017
Not really much to say beyond the last entry. I've been going to the gym regularly, cycling and walking. The wound has healed nicely. No swelling. No pain in the joint when I'm not walking on it.
The only discomfort I have experienced recently is in my left hip (which I mentioned previously) when laying down. This may be due to my awkward gait when favouring my left foot, which probably put strain on the hip joint. Now that I'm walking more normally it seems to be settling down (possibly bursitis - I'll talk to my doc about it if it persists). Otherwise life is pretty much back to normal.
The toe hurts a little more than it did before the surgery (maybe 2 to 3 on a scale of 10 when walking), but I feel there is slow, but steady improvement. The surgeon said full recovery takes months, so patience is the key.
I'll just make occasional entries now as there really isn't much to write about.
