Post Op Appointment

Sorry it's taken a few days to get back to you. Been feeling under the weather with pain. Had cast off and the consultant and nurse are a little concerned about red angry swelling on the bottom of my foot. It's very sore as well. The rest is generally looking good for on the recovery. Gonna need another 2 weeks rest with foot raised up to help with the swelling going down. Got to wear weird shoe for another 4 weeks. Gonna keep an eye on the painful swelling under my foot and if it gets even more painful will have to have it looked at again. Next appointment is mid February!! :bee:

Pretty good so far, then? Let's hope the swelling is just a pressure point or something equally self-limiting with care. Keep doing whatever you've been told to do. It seems to be working

Thank you Sticky, I have been behaving, don't want to go backwards!! I have a reward to aim for, a holiday that we haven't booked yet as we don't want to hex it! But as long as I keep behaving and doing as the consultant says and keep it raised and try not to put weight on my big toe and metatarsal area (did it once on Saturday and knew about it!!) there is no reason I can't go away March time on Holiday. So that's my prize at the end of the tunnel!! :sun:

Another holiday is an encouraging target and an excellent reward. I think it is far too easy for people to misunderstand how important rest can be, especially those who are very temporarily indisposed; luckily we all know better. DD
