2 week Post Op visit
Got my stitches out today. Scar is about 3 to 3.5 inches. Healed really nicely per the Physicians Assistant. I haven’t been out of the boot for 2 weeks and thought I would wash it. Also, got to take a shower and rub off some skin. Felt good to have water on it. Thought I would take the time for a photo opp. Anyway, looks good to me and feels really good.
The PA told me to stay NWB for 2 more weeks and then start walking on it. I go back in 4 weeks. I think I was more excited about the visit than they were. Not a lot of news. In and out in 15 minutes. I also took some time to move it around a little and get my ankle loosened up. Well, back in the boot I go.
The time goes by quickly if you set little goals. I am so glad my doc didn’t put me in a cast. I can get it to what I feel is 90 degrees. My goal is to play in our member-member golf tournament the second week of October. A lot of time between now and then, but hey, I’ve got the time.

Doing great!! You are already past the worse part, the first 2 weeks!! Try to wiggle your toes often, but don’t bend your foot. You have the same treatment path I have
and at 4 1/2 weeks I was able to stand FWB without the boot. Read my posts!! Some advice I can give is, the night before you go back to have
a wedge removed, take it out and test drive it. The only pain I really had was when the second wedge came out!! Hang in there, it will get better soon.
