Yowch!!! The stitches look more painful than the actual injury!

My kids said they looked like spiders but I don't have much of a scar which was more important to the orthopedic surgeon that it was to me.
I didn't walk for 8 wks and then had to relearn how to walk. Still struggle w/ my side kicks and balance at times. Thanks to the pins in it I have pain at times (sometimes worse then others) but I was determined to not quit TKD!

i commend you on your determination and perseverance

I heard that! Speaking of being a mom, my 12 yr old son has the flu - stayed home with him today (DH was home with him the first part of the week) He smiled when I told him I gave up a swords class for him - he knows how much I love swords! Hope he can go back to school Fri. and I can go to class tomorrow night - 10 days till Regional Tournament Need to be practicing.

Karatemom that is one bad looking toe. Glad to see everything work out for you.

Hope he's better soon! Hope you're fully mended soon too!

Love of sword? Might you be a "kendomom" in the future?

Y'all did see the date I posted with the pic, didn't you??? It was from July 2008 about a week after my surgery (took it at work w/ my cell phone).

It's been a long road back... I still have some limitations ...

Have a Regional Tournament next Sat. My first one post-toe injury/surgery :uhohh:
