Cast is off, and the carnage is apparent. actually thought I was going to get on my bike and pedal a bit tonight.....walking boot and ugliness is all I have now.

Day 7

exactly 7 days post op. first day back at work and it is tough. the issue is basically having my leg below my heart. yesterday I had to go out on crutches for most of the day 9-3 and it caused a lot of swelling in my fore foot and toes. The swelling didn't go down as much as I had hoped overnight and so today started out worse than I wanted and is steadily going down hill.

I can put more weight on it now, but am trying not too. I can feel the stitches sticking to the gauze on the inside of the cast as my foot has shrunk and can move around some.

hoping to make it until 2:00 today at work before heading back home to elevate it.
