Yeah...the cast is off and the stitches are out! However, the pin is in and has to stay in for 2 more weeks. I am healing so well, the doc decided to not put me in another cast. The foot is heavily bandaged and I have to wear a "surgical" shoe when ever I am up. The shoe rubs on the pin...that was what I was feeling in the cast...the pin is on top this time and not like the 2 pins that were on the side last time. Now I am a nervous wreck that I am going to bang it...it is really sore. I do hope the grandkids understand that I cannot play with them much this Christmas. It will be hard not to...I don't get to see them very much.
I was told I am an "extremely healthy woman". The doc did a similar proceedure on a 38 year old woman the same day as my surgery. She left the hospital in a bandage but is healing so poorly that she left the docs office yesterday in a cast. Doc said the cut in the bone is already healed and you can hardly see it on the xray. I told her I don't understand because I don't drink milk or take calcium supplements. She said it has nothing to do with it...it is your general health. I guess I am not biologically as old as my age. Did that make sense??? I sure do believe in exercise to keep you young and young feeling.
I am off to eat some breakfast, but I just wanted to share my good report. Have a great day all.
