4 week post op update!!

Went to the Dr this morning for my 4 week post op appointment.  Dr said it looked really good and that the color of my foot was normal due to the blood pooling in my foot.  The toes and foot will become normal again once it becomes less stiff.  He wants me to still wear the boot for 2 more weeks but to start putting some weight on it as much as I can tolerate and to try and ween myself off the crutches.  3 weeks in he would like me to try and see if I can tolerate wearing shoes because at the next appointment (1 month) he hopes I will be walking in shoes.
I am scheduled to have physical therapy 2 times a week but my first one won't start for another week (Aug 11th).  In a way I can't wait but then the other part of me say I know its going to suck and probably hurt like a mother!!!  I still have to keep the tape on my incision and only cut off the tape that has peeled away.  I can see the scar is starting to get a little crusty and scabs are forming which are all good signs!!  The itching is getting more intense and I have my handy little back scratcher to solve that problem!
I have tried for the first time putting some weight on it and man does it hurt, LOL.  I am going to try and keep moving it as much as I can but going to limit trying to put to much weight on it right now until my first therapy session.  That way maybe it will have loosened it up some and be less painful.  Anyways here are some pics of how it looks 1 month after surgery.  I will keep posting updates as I progress!!
