No stopping Kaysia

Kaysia had surgery a few days ago on her toes. She was completely excited about the whole thing and did great! She LOVED her hospital pajamas and was sad she couldn't wear them home. When she woke up from her surgery she was calm and the nurse asked her if she wanted me or Jason and she said, "no". The nurse of course called us back anyway and I was surprised at how well she was doing. She just looked like she just woke up, because she did. She watched a couple shows and then wanted to go home and play with Maddy (her cousin). On the way home she was her normal silly self. She didn't get to eat breakfast so she was REALLY hungry. I told her we would get her ANYTHING she wanted for lunch, her request, A HOT DOG.......YUCK!
She also wanted to go play at a McDonald's play place that night. She has been unstoppable and I have to keep reminding her she has cuts in her toes and she needs to take it easy!
She has what the doctor said is 'Curly Toe'. It is where the fourth toe on each foot curls back behind the others. It is caused by a tight or small tendon in the bone. The doctor made a small incision in the back of her toe and simply cut the tendon. The toe looks great now, but now she has a second problem. It is what the doctor refers to as an overlapping fifth toe. This may or may not need surgery. Her little pinky toe actually looks worse now because the other toe is up where it belongs. This is really concerning to Jason, he is really afraid she is going to be self conscious of her feet later in life. Being a girl, especially one with a shoe fetish, I think that may be true, however, I would rather leave the surgery choice up to her for those toes when she gets a little older. That is if it isn't medically necessary.
