No infection
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 
April,
That’s great news! Wound infection, as we have many stories on here to show for it, is not fun at all. It’s okay that PT is canceled because really a poorly healing wound will only inhibit your progress there and potentially make your wound worse. So, you’ve got the right thoughts that you have plenty of time to let it do its’ thing - then you can do yours!
