Well it’s been 7 weeks going on 8 weeks as of Dec.3 that I had my foot/ankle surgery and I guess I can say I’m over the hump of I all. However with my 5 cast I did take it off 4 days before my last doctors appointment because I was feeling the blisters forming and popping within the cast, I took it off and I was right, I had so many blisters on my foot but no infections thank God. The doctor was ok with me taking it off seeing that I was coming in to see her. I’m on my 6th cast which I hope is my last, and I will see the doctor on Tuesday. If all is well I’ll be starting physical therapy within a week and then I can get back to the gym yeah!!!! I hope I don’t have difficulty walking on the foot with all the hardware in it and a new arch. I was always flat footed so I’m not sure what this is going to feel like, I had a special shoe insert made to balance me out evenly. My pain is very minimal unless I do something to the foot or it gets uncomfortable, but for the most part I think I’m ready to get on the good foot lol.
