This afternoon I head back to my doctor for my first follow-up. I am under the impression that I will get the cast off, stitches out, and be put into my CAM boot (which apparently stands for Controlled Ankle Motion). I am also pretty sure that I will be told that there will be no weight put on the foot until week 6 but I should now be able to do some basic exercises for the ankle. At week 6, I will start PT.
The big highlight in all this is that I will be able to actually see my foot. I have no idea what the incision looks like (but I keep praying that the incision was made in the shape of a lightning bolt for extra coolness). I will be sure to put pictures up and gross out some folks.
I have no pain at all now which is awesome but I continue to take it easy. The last thing I need is to re-injure myself and have to start this over. That would totally crush my spirits. I try not to think about that but it helps me keep focus on being patient and taking things slow. As I keep telling myself: Soon enough.
