New cast and healing

Thankfully I got through the really bad day last week and pain is continuing to decrease. Went in yesterday to remove split cast, remove sutures and get the regular cast. Foot looks good, not as swollen as it feels. Suture removal was not fun but only moderately painful and finished pretty quick.

Continued chllenges are mobility, independence, and of course pain. I have a random nerve twitch about an inc from the incisiion, toward my toe, that likes to twitch periodically and cause a weird sensation and some pain. Switched to Vicodin, which does not help much but I am glad to be off the oxycodone and more alert. Working from home just a few hours a day, will return to work next week for 2 days then off for Thanksgiving.

True life savers have been the cast cover, bench and shower nozzle holder...have been able to shower daily thanks to these items! Also, having Adam set up the ice chest etc when he goes to work. My good leg gets fatigued when hopping around too much, and when on the Oxycodone I was a bit dizzy and shaky.

Here are some pics from doc visit yesterday.
