Well done to your DD, KAtie.
I got my stitches out today - 3 wounds and c. 15 or so stitches altogether. Everything is looking good. The surgeon is very pleased. I now am back in my moon boot and have individual wound dressings on as well as a compression sock which I can take off on Sunday at which time I can also remove the wound dressings. Still not weight bearing for another four weeks but the strict elevation directions have been lessened. I am beginning to start feeling normal again, but there is still a long healing process to go - months, not weeks! Maybe I will be back to 'real' normal in c. 12 months with luck and if I am good with my physio.
