Healing

[ellen_datlow]

Saw my surgeon/doc this evening and it's healing. Looked too icky to me for me to want to have it photographed. It's going slowwwwly. He said I could opt out of the unaboot at any time but he also said that a skin graft would be painful so...nah. I think I'll keep going for now. I'm probably going to have to find a surgeon who can change my dressing while down in Florida visiting my parents (or as soon as I get to Orlando). We'll see how it's doing in three weeks. Boooring. Sorry. (next visit Monday evening)

It's good news that it's healing. For what it's worth, I think you're making the right choice of treatment.

Thanks. Let's see: minimal pain vs major pain--uh huh!!! :-) It just may get awfully inconvenient. So far, I've been lucky as it's been relatively warm out so I can still wear skirts (I can't fit leggings over the bandages). I HATE wearing trousers--and even if I did--I only have linen ones, which are not especially warm.

Also, I've been able to wear my clogs all along... If it snows...we'll see if the shoes I bought for that eventually--actually work.
