Foot surgery pictures

Here's pictures of the cast I've been wearing for two weeks, my foot today before getting stitches out, and the boot I'll wear for 4 months. I was almost hyperventilating thinking about pulling the sutures, but it wasn't so bad.

Still can't put weight on the foot for 3 to 4 months and have to go through a surgery to take the rods out, but I'm getting tougher.

Once healed, it won't look bad at all will it? Lookes like they did a nice neat job. I know you'll do what you're suppose to so it will heal good inside too.

ouch Sandy... In no time it will heal and you will be walking again. I wore the same kind of bootie when I broke my metatarsal bone in my foot. Good luck...

It's looking pretty good and once it's all healed up you'll be so glad that you had it done. My memory's failing me and I can't remember what you had done! Could you remind me?

Doctor hasn't mentioned therapy. I'm doing OK, just running out of sitting chores/hobbies. I actually called a maid service because my house looks awful. Hubby is doing a great job, but he only hits the high spots. I had a maid come in for a one-time clean when I had my hysterectomy. Just seeing the house clean will make me feel better. I've never had a pedicure and have already told hubby I want one as soon as the doctor says it's OK. Looks like that will be for a Christmas present.

I always feel better if my house is clean, only I'm the one having to clean it. I'd like to have a one time maid, that looks like those guys in the pic cleaning that car...holy moly!!! I'd be dropping stuff all over the place...lol

Well, my maid is here, as I sit, with my feet up, watching TV, posting to 4WT. Aw, this is the life! I just need coffee and a muffin.

Wow! I love your purple bandage. Seriously - your leg does look good after a surgery.

I'm sending prayers for an easy recovery. I hope you're not in pain. (or, if you are, that they gave you interesting meds).

Just an idea - can you qualify for a home health aide since you're immobile for so long? Then you could sit back with that cup of coffee and your computer more often. Let somebody else do all the work.
