Day 22

11:33 p.m.

Haven't posted in a few days. I have been busy. We are in Mcdonough, Georgia for tonight. Let me bring you up to speed.

I went in on Wednesday to get my feet checked out, and instead of getting them re-wrapped, I recieved two removable splints and four gel toe spacers. I have to wear the splints inside of my surgical shoes, of which I now have two pairs (blue and black). When I bathe, I have to use the toe spacers to keep my toes apart, but at least I can wash my feet now.

The past two days since have been miserable. I can't sleep much, and these splints HURT. They will be ok for a while, at which point I will fall asleep, and then I will wake up to shooting pains running along my toe underneath my incisions. I'm having a blast. :-/

The drive to Georgia was pretty exciting. We stopped and ate in Clio around 9 p.m., and we drove, and drove, and drove. We crossed into Ohio around midnight, and then into Kentucky around 3 a.m. Cincinatti was very pretty. I wish I had some pictures.

Around 5 a.m., we pulled into a visitor center in Kentucky. My parents took a nap for a few hours, and then we were back on the road by 8. We stopped at a Shoney's Restuarant in Knoxville, Tennessee, and had an amazing breakfast. After leaving around 10:30 or so, we drove through Atlanta, and then we encountered a TRAFFIC JAM. A 3.5 hour ride became a 5 hour ride, but by 3, we were checked into the hotel.

Since then, I took a 5 hour nap, and then hopped on my crutches to a nearby gas station to buy some food. My feet hurt right now, and I will probably not sleep well tonight. It's worth a try though, I guess.

Goodnight.
