Friday Face OFF SO SORRY

 Hi Everyone!

I'm so sorry that there will be no FFO today. My foot surgery has gone sideways and I can only be up for a few minutes a day. The surgery itself was a success, however, the doctor and I believe that lupus has attracted the foot and new bone marrow. My foot is so full of water, (edema) that I can't move my toes or flex it. I have surgery blisters, and my foot looks pretty bad. The doctor has changed my antibiotics and put me on steroids. Thank the gods for steroids. 
This just seems typical for all that I have been through this year. Please, pray, spell, wish, and send healing energy to me.
The photos are pretty gross.
 
 

 P.S. My most wonderful landlord brought over a wheelchair and a walker. I feel blessed for that.
If nothing else goes wrong I will see you next week.
Nicole

OMG, Nicole, that looks so bad! Sending hugs and prayers and lots of good vibes and get well wishes and a few good spells to alleviate the pain and swelling. Keep your foot up, take care, and get well soon, hugs, Valerie
Lovely Landlord, bless him!

It sounds just grim, Nicole. But I'm grateful for your kind landlord and of course you have all the prayers we can muster for an ease in the discomfort. I'm so sorry you have to experience this.

Oh, I hope that foot is better soon! May Brigid, Goddess of Healing, make it so! Keep your spirits up, Nicole!

So sorry to hear about your foot. The leg is so swollen looking like inflammatory oedema. Surgery triggered a flare of lupus most likely. Please rest well and be positive.

My name is Erika. said...

OMG Nicole. I'm sending huge amounts of good energy your way. I hope this goes away very soon. You must be very uncomfortable. Take care and don't worry about Friday since you being healed is more important. Hugs-Erika

You have really been through a lot and my deepest sympathies are all that I can offer. I wish that you lived closer and I could do more in a practical sense.

I'm glad the surgery itself went well, but I hate it for you that there are complications :( Positive thoughts for a healthy turn-around and full healing.

Oh, I am so sorry, Nicole, that really should not have happened. Hope you´re at least not in too much pain.
Sending you good vibes, strength, a big hug and that you´re not sad or mad.
At least you have a great landlord.
And hopefully good food, too.
Get well soon!

oh NOOOOOOOOO
how awful and painful. Pain like that throbs even when you are lying down, and makes sleep difficult if not impossible. I am praying the healers reach down and relieve you...
