Went to see my consultant last night. He took off my original cast and put on a nice neat new one. He is keeping me that for just 1 more week and then I am into the ‘assisted weight bearing’ stage in an Aircast boot for at least another 5 weeks, maybe longer I suppose. The stitches coming out weren’t sore at all (a very slight nip perhaps) and he reckoned the wound was healing up nicely. I actually resisted the temptation to look at it! I am treating this as a small progress stage - this new cast is actually a little lighter and the angle of my toes is more comfortable. Will definitely be celebrating getting my cast off though!
