Another two weeks in the cast according to the doc. “I know it feels good, but you still can’t walk on it,” she said. While I was out of the cast I asked her if I could move it and see if it worked and she told me no. She wiggled my tendon and looked at my face for a pain reaction. I didn’t show one and she said “oh yeah, your surgery went really well, this one will be stronger than your other one.” She told me before that I have small tendons and I’ve been living with that since. Ha ha.

Business Casual

The cast guy wiped my leg down and then mildly scrubbed my stitched area (wound?). While I was on my stomach, I could feel the tendon stretching and it felt really weird. I didn’t like it but just relaxed and dealt with the stitch removal. It didn’t really hurt, just felt funny, like someone was pruning thorns off of my leg with a pair of wire cutters.

I’ll be in this cast for another two weeks and then start with the boot and wedges. Till then, I’m just crutching and asking interns to get me coffee.
