Well, picked up my wheels yesterday. Now to deck it out with tassels, a bell, cup holder, license plate, and a card in the spokes!
Tomorrow is the first follow up with the doctor, and a change from my gigantic dressing to a hopefully less bulky cast.
I have to say, I was not prepared for all of the feelings that have been going on under this dressing. Electrical impulses, tingling, tightness, pulling, etc. not to mention the feeling of things scraping against the incision area and all around my ankle, kind of like I imagine handcuffs would feel. It's all kind of disconcerting.
Anyway, positive thoughts for when they remove the stitches or staples (whichever I have) tomorrow. The papers I was given say "this may be uncomfortable for you". Hope I don't shriek/cry/swear/throw up!
