Week 5 PostOp
Last week I had to go back to Doc for a Recast. My swelling went down during the last week and a half and my cast was really loose. This time the nurse used more padding and it was shorter. She said the the scar looked great and was a thin line and she could tell that I was following instructions. When people walk during the NWB stage, she said that the scar tends to pucker and pull apart. The dressings have been changed every week to week and a half so my leg has not gotten stinky, even though it is in the 90s here. My ankle looks a lot better, and I can tell that it is healing nicely. 1 more week until I can start walking with crutches, no more wheelchair.
