I finally got to take the cast off today and see for the first time the good job my Doc did ten days earlier. The scar is larger than first expected as apparently I did a pretty good job of making a mess of it. The nurse did say that everything is healing just fine and nothing to worry about.

Stitches came out with very little pain and my lovely new Air Cast boot went on with all three heal wedges. I think the first instructions were for only two but I had problems getting everything to sit properly so needed the third.

I was so looking forward to having the cast off and no more heavy weight to carry around but was shocked to feel how heavy the boot ws and how uncomfortable it was when I jumped back on my knee walker.

The biggest disapointment of the day was the fact that my Specialist got called away earlier in the day so I did not get to ask all the questions I had been saving up for these past two weeks.

I finally go back to full time work next Monday and already have to find time to go and see him (my specialist) next Friday. Hopefully he will not get called away this time.

I took some photo’s but unfortunately Wordpress is not playing nicely and they will not show up in the post. If I can work it out I will post later.
