I finally got my bandages off yesterday (2 weeks and 2 days post surgery) and got to see the incision. It's about an inch and a half and had 5 stitches. The stitches came out pretty easily, only one hurt a little coming out. My foot looked pretty gross after getting the bandages off. I have some huge pressure sores from them. The incision creeps me out to look at but also kind of cool. My doctor said everything looks pretty good and normal and he is happy with where I am at. I can start some massaging near the incision to break up scar tissue and help healing. I also am suppose to buddy tape my big toe to my pointer toe my next appointment isn't for 4 more weeks. Sadly I'm still in my boot for that time. It's nice to be mobile but it's hard to walk on your heel for a long time or distance. I can also start using the recumbent bike if it doesn't hurt my foot and other exercises, so I'm excited to get moving again.
