Post-op scar and cast photos
Here is a picture of my scar up close - took it at a weird angle during my first post-op appointment. Forgot to take a picture after the stitches were removed (day 8). It didn’t look so bad once he removed the stitches. I hate all the purple marks from where he marked my leg and can’t wait to wash it off.
Here is a picture of my hot pink cast - believe it or not, I’ve actually received a lot of compliments of the choice of color by both men and women. Might as well have some enjoyment out of this.
Thank you all who have helped me by providing directions on how to post my photos. I still don’t have the hang of it as I have no idea how I was successful this time around and most likely won’t be able to do it again in a future post.

I use tiny pic, I take one of the image codes, then click html tab versus visual and post the image code, then I hit the visual tab to see if the code translated into the image. Demo it, use all 4 codes given in html tab mode and see which works in visual mode. Hope this helps Dope cast I am a guy and I would have probably gone outside more if I had a hot pink cast. I have black and pink sneakers so yeah. The incision looks way off where the tendon was, but none the less I am glad you had a smaller incision than me. Hope to see more pictures in the updates.

Thanks for the directions - again (and compliment on cast color)! LOL. Yes, the incision is not centered, which I am actually pleased about. It’s a little less conspicuous as it is closer to my inside part of my leg. I am also pleased it is relatively small in length compared to a lot of other peoples but my surgeon said part of that corresponds to my size (I’m a peanut).

ouch! the scar looks bad! what is this procedure btw and seems like many people have this vertical scar instead of mine which is a horizontal one and less than 5cm long… but in any case looks like the wound is healing well!

Love the pink cast. I went purple with mine. Didn’t have the nail polish though , they took it off when cast went on. Something about being able to see if my toes were going blue if cast too tight. Doesn’t seem that long ago that the cast came off really. Once you get used to the boot moving around is so much better than with cast. Sleeping takes a bit of getting used to. From reading your blog it sounds like we have had similar experiences going from doing lots of work , cooking etc to being forced into relaxing. Thank goodness for Netflix. Wishing you continued happy healing. Keep us posted as to how its going.
