Travelled the 240 km round trip to see my Orthopedic Surgeon to have remaining staples removed. There were a couple of not quite sealed areas with significant residual swelling and as a result only half of the staples on each of the major wounds were removed. I must return in another week to have the remainder removed. The feeling sensation and toe wiggling is on track. Still absolutely no load bearing or getting it wet. Dr says " keep looking after our foot"
As you can see the major swelling has subsided and the bruising is fading too. Had a bit if a scoot around Anaconda looking at all the outdoor equipment I hope to be able to use when I am recovered. May have overdone it a tad. Had a very sick , weak moment where I I started to feel quite faint. Quick retreat to subway for a ice coffee and warm Turkey Sanger to either restore my blood sugar or blood pressure, maybe both. 10 more minutes upright and there probably would have been a mess of arms n legs n scooter wheels flat out on the ground. Note to self " take it easy idiot! Actual healing from major surgery is not relative to how I think I am recovering!!!!"20 days and counting.
