So this afternoon is when the current cast is to be cut off and probably replaced - unless the healing process has advanced rapidly! No, I am not counting on rapid healing - normal is fine - but would not complain if I did not have to lug a cast around for several more weeks!
No worries, I will not post pictures, unlike other times. I realize the vast difference between infection photos and amputation.
So excited, wary, a bit fearful to see what the leg looks like now. I had to do some very difficult exercises while sitting on a big ball. It seems to have worked. Such a pain. I think there is a sadist streak with physical therapists.
After that 2.5 hour event was over, I limped back to my room and bed and threw myself down. I awoke warm and rested, an Italian Greyhound curled up beside me and very happy! Seems it was dog visitation day and one had escaped! The owner was very apologetic but I laughed it off. Too bad the dog could not stick around longer. It was nice being even momentarily liked...
Well, back to my exercising this morning, I will not be able to this afternoon as my cast will be drying.
