Fell out of the attic and broke my foot
First post-operation follow up. Doc said it looks good, I guess I'll take his word for it. The medical assistant knelt down to remove my cast and she must have been borrowing someone else's shirt, because the one she was wearing definitely showed everything I wanted to see when she bent over! No complaints and I don't think she cared, because at one point she squeezed her arms together for no apparent reason. Anyway...
Doc removed the stitches and gave me the option of putting the cast back on or giving me the boot again. I chose the boot, and he lowered his head and raised his brow, and made me PROMISE that I would follow his orders with the boot. We pinky promised and now I'm back in the boot.
I asked about recovery time, and he said 90 days from surgery is doable, but an aggressive goal. At least now I can scratch my damn foot without digging down with a dipstick.
