Well tomorrow is my 4 week post op check and I will see where I go from there. I have been in and out of the boot for 2 weeks. I am not really moving it to much just letting some air get to it . I have a few issues I will need to bring up to the dr tomorrow. One of the problems is my foot gets really red and swollen when I am up for 3 minutes or more. I know the common reason for this is because blood is rushing down but I will see tomorrow. The other issue is my toes are curled up and stay that way. I can move them down to were they are level but then they just return back. I don't know if this is because they are just stiff from me not using them or what. Other than that I am feeling good. I don't know if I will return to work light duty or off for another 2-3 weeks. I work on my feet 8-9 hours a night on concrete floors and that is my biggest concern as I would hate to re-injure it because I went to work to early.

Surgery foot with curved toes (looks weird)
Hi Chris, I stumbled across your blog while looking for more info on my surgery. It is very refreshing to see that your experience is very similar to mine. When I went to the dr for my 2-week appointment he asked me if I had any questions, which of course I had no idea since he had just taken off the soft cast and I didn't know what to expect. Thank you for sharing your experience.
