Shedding

3 Weeks Post Surgery....

Yesterday was a big day. Steve took me to the orthopedic surgeon's office to have the second cast removed. Even though my ankle didn't look as "pretty" as last time, the surgeon said it's looking good. 

Cold Spray was applied and my staples and stitches were all removed. After I adjusted my foot into a 90 degree angle it was frozen into place with another hard cast. This cast comes up even further on my leg.  It's such a relief to have the stitches and staples removed. The pins & needles sensation has improved very much! I took advantage of the break from pain by running an errand for school. It was nice to be out and accomplish something. By the time I got home, my foot was ready to rest. The swelling seems worse today. I think it's because the cast is so tight on the ankle. I will return to have this cast removed at the end of the month. At that time, I will be placed in an air cast boot.
