Last Cast

So, on Tuesday, May 20, I went to the Plaster Room and the X-Ray, and it was decided that I could graduate to an AirCast, which I had to pay for. It does work very well to protect my toes, and I can take it off to let the toes wiggle, to bathe, and to massage my swollen foot. Pretty slick!

I also can put the right foot down, gently, but I don't do much of that. When I'm going barefoot to the bathroom (from my own bed: I moved upstairs on Tuesday!) I use the walker, but I don't have to hop anymore; I can just shuffle. The end is near!  Final graduation should be June 10. 

At noon on Monday, May 3, Dr Chestnut called to check up on my condition and let me know she had been in touch with Dr Walker (Jim) after sending my foot photo (from Tues April 27). She told me some things I've forgotten, probably because Cynthia was there asking questions before I baredly got off the phone.

This morning, May 4, her office called to say I have an appointment with Dr Pratt, a dermatologist, on Friday morning.
