Slow healing

My foot is looking better, not nearly as red.  It is still sore.  I suppose I should have done a little better research when I decided the foot was the place for it.  I guess it's one of the more painful places to have tattooed and has a longer/harder healing time.

I wanted his feet to walk with mine since he never got the chance to do it for himself.

I hope it heals well FX!  I will try to avoid shoes/socks and anything touching it as much as possible but it will be almost impossible to avoid completely, especially since I work in a professional office where flip flops are a big NO NO!

I picked the studio because another BLM went there and spoke about it on her blog.  The studio is run by three women, and I choose one who is a mom.  While she's never experienced loss of a pregnancy or child we had a great talk.  She isn't afraid to talk to me about Gavin, the details of his birth and short life, our infertility and plans for the future.  I am at a point that I like being able to talk freely about all that stuff. 

Of course the tattoo while being very special to me in so many ways is also a conduit to open discussion with anyone who might be curious.
