Day 48, it has been a couple of days since I posted. I survived a 9 hour drive with only one stop. I paid for it a bit the next day in that my foot was sore and I was exhausted. I don't know why I am exhausted when all I do is sit and do nothing. I had my doctors appointment yesterday and had the cast removed at day 47. I had an XRAY done and the doc said the bone hadn't healed so I am in a boot, not bearing any weight. I go back in two weeks. (day 61!! almost 8 weeks). My incision on the outside of my foot had opened up so I have to do a daily cleaning and am on an antibiotic. I do get to take a shower!! I bought a shower chair that is wonderful. It is a transfer chair so no fear of climbing in and out of the tub. My first shower was today. First shower in 7 weeks. (no more bending over the sink) My mom has to help be clean my incision. I can't bend over that well without twisting my ankle (I am overweight). We have to "pack" the incision with some bandage that has silver particles in it. I am told that speeds up the healing. Interesting. Well enough for today. The antibiotic makes me a bit woozy and very, very tired.
Have a great day and God Bless.
