On Monday my doctor called to see how I was doing and asked if the wound was still draining from the last time we talked and I told him yes.  So the doctor wanted me to see a wound and infectious disease doctor before I see him again.  Well, I saw the specialist today and the good news is the wound is not infected and she gave me a special gel to apply each day until I see her again next week.  Unfortunately,  I have to remain off the foot and use the crutches and my PT has been canceled for next week (that makes it two weeks now that PT is canceled).

Anyway,  I am happy there is no infection and that all is needed is time which I have plenty of

The draining that I am having with part of my incision seems to be drying up :-)  I did a little experiment last night where I slept without the boot or a bandage to let that area get some air and possibly help dry the area.  When I got up this morning the area was completely dry and seemed to have formed a scab…so guess what I am going to do again tonight.
