Purple foot
It’s been a while since I’ve posted….i guess that means work and graduate school is really keeping me busy! I’m at a little over 9 weeks…in a boot for a few more weeks but walking short distances without crutches. PT however won’t start until October. The scar itself looks great (I can feel a little scar tissue under the skin however). The tendon is often tight but I’ve taken the wedges out of the boot and i’m close to completely ditching the crutches.
The concern I have lately is the continued discoloration of my bad foot. After a day at work or not having it elevated for a while my foot turns a nice shade of purple. Anyone else have this problem this long after surgery? If so how long did it take to go away.
One thing I did do to past my time is start a red sox/baseball blog….it’s actually caught on in popularity and i’ll be keeping it going….For those of you just dealing with surgery, it’s a good way to keep your mind active/off your injury……feel free to log on and let me know what you think!
