Had my first post-op visit with my doctor today. Said it looked good. But still a little too "wet" for Erin to start handling the bandage changes herself. So he wants me back this Thursday.
I have 7 sutures on a 5 inch long incision straight down the bottom of my foot. I can't put ANY weight on it for 6 to 8 weeks. So I'll be in the chair for a bit.
After that, he said he's going to put me into an AFO brace. I'll be in that for a time, then surgery to fix tendons in my foot and calf.
The positive thing was I didn't have to have a picc line because Erin and I couldn't afford to pay for it out of pocket. Being poor for the win!!
Below is a pic of my foot in the bandages about 2 hours before the doctors visit. The second is a blurred out pic of the foot after a cleaning.
(Unaltered photo available from Erin upon request) Thanks again to everyone for your continued support! We love you guys! ❤️
