8 days have passed since i had my surgery to remove my Haglunds from my right heel, this should ease the pressure on my Achilles tendon but has meant that i have been stuck in my house on my bed, wondering what i could actually do.
The above picture is a generic picture of what Haglunds deformity is, now the fact ive had this growing since 2010 and been coping with the pain that comes from this is something else, but it was time to say bye-bye to the nasty growth. The deformity happens due to footwear being too rigid, and impact through the feet, and because the spur rubs on the Achilles, it causes inflammation and pain.
so for the last 8 days since returning from hospital, I’ve been confined to my bed with a cocktail of prescription drugs to manage the pain during the healing process in the afflicted area. now for someone whose work involves being outdoors and active for the majority of the day, this was very difficult, there’s only so much Netflix/prime and internet someone can handle.
At the moment I’m looking at many different ways to keep my mind active, from reading books and articles, to doing what i can for work, to looking at free education courses online.
over the coming days/ weeks/ months hopefully I will be able to keep my sanity and keep that of the wife as she has been a star and dealt with everything in the house.
until next time.
