Another 2 weeks has gone by, so it was time to change the cast. It was getting a bit sloppy on the inside and a touch ratty on the outside.
Doctor Brunet had a look at it and said it was doing well. I thought it looked kind of gross. The incision is a bit crusty, and one of the pins can't even be seen, but the nurse snipped the stitches so they can dissolve.
The cast is the same as last time, in fiberglass, covered up. No weight-bearing yet.
Next time they'll take x-rays and remove the pins. Maybe I'll be allowed a little weight, or maybe that will be the next time.
I took a picture of the bare foot today. It's nice and straight, but what a scar!
My left foot is feeling a bit beat-up these days. Mostly the skin, not the bones. Have had to soak it in Doak Oil a couple of times, and I'm trying to give it lots of care.
