Week 5 - On my last Cast
I had doctors appointment today to get my final cast. Next week will be 6 weeks post surgery. I am so excited about moving to the next phase. I had to wait 2 hours in casting room for the doctor to arrive. He had 3 emergencies. The nice thing about the wait is I got to sit on the bed without the cast on. Boy did that feel nice. Scary looking at how thin my leg got. Its like the size of my arm. Good news is the incision looks great. My skin looks good as well. So all is healing very well. The doctor was very happy. He poked around before he left and I had no pain. Only pain is when they forced my foot back to 90 deg. and put the cast on. After a few minutes the pain settled out. So next Thursday I get the boot :). I was told I will have wedges in the there for a few weeks. Also will need to use crutches at first so I dont fall over. God I am so looking forward to just walking again. Amazing how just putting your foot on the ground is such a big event. Be well and heal well everyone….
