Where’s The Light?

I’m still struggling with this foot.  This darn toe just doesn’t want to touch the ground.  I’m hearing some horror stories about this lasting a long time.  It’s not something I was expecting.  The swelling is getting to me as well.  I knew to expect swelling.  Even up to a year. But I guess I thought it would only be after physical exertion.  Not just always swollen even with lots of rest, elevation and icing.  

I’m nowhere near where I thought I’d be at almost 12 weeks post op.
