The night before...

Okay so no pic for this one. I've uploaded all these posts today to get it out of the way.

I'm due in hospital again tomorrow to have the plate and screws out. It's an odd arrangement at the surgeon only works on Mondays, so I have to sit around tomorrow and wait for a phone call telling me what ward to go to and what time. It also means I can't eat as of midnight tonight. I thought I'd better put up the stuff up to now just incase they bump me on the table, lol.

Anyhoo, wish me luck and I'll let you know how it goes.

My new foot!

Its called an Aircraft Walker XP, four bladders grip your leg to act like a cast and help you walk. To start with I relied on the crutches when using it but now I can get about without them.

Check-Up and Wire removal day.

Check-Up and Wire Removal Day,

Yeah so check out the rusty B&Q pliers they used to pull the K-Wires out of my foot!

The scars are healing well though don't you think?

Check-Up

Ok so six weeks after my operation comes my first check-up, that means that the cast has gotta come off and the dressings changed.

Getting ready to go home

Off with the temporary cast, clean the wounds and on with a new one.

Nice scar huh?

I didn't know it at the time but this is one of two k-wires in my foot. Picture kindly taken by the nurse.

Ok so new cast on, crutches and bag ready!
