Howdy Lodge. Back from the doctor. Got my stitches removed. Actually, they were staples. No wonder it was so irritated. He put steri strips on the incisions and a little gauze and an ace bandage. Swelling has gone way down. Yay! Still doesn’t want me to put any weight on it for another two weeks. He thinks it will swell if I put weight on it and that might cause the incisions to open. He did say I can get it wet by end of week. And that I don’t have to wear the boot the whole time. I have it off now, but I may put it back on because now it’s actually starting to ache. Which it hasn’t done since it happened. Weird.
Going back in two weeks, will have an X-ray and then he said I might be able to get into a sneaker with an ankle brace. Considering he told me i would be in a boot for 4-6 weeks, I’m a little amazed at that.
