Today has been 3 weeks since surgery and pain is completely gone as far as the surgery itself. I now have been able to get a half way decent nights sleep without to much discomfort. The only discomfort I get is when the boot seems to push on the incision at certain positions making it difficult to stay comfortable for very long. The dr. has allowed me to remove the boot when I am in a controlled environment such as on the bed but must have it on when walking around to prevent from hurting it in anyway!! I do try and stretch it out some but not a lot. just trying to stay moving around some so no blood clots form is all.
The incision is starting to itch some and that is a good sign that everything is healing!! I am so ready to start walking some and be able to start swimming and cycling soon after. My calf has dwindled to nothing and is very upsetting looking at. My next appointment is in 1 week and he said I will be starting physical therapy and possibly start putting some weight on my leg.
