My second Post Op appointment was three days shy of seven weeks from my surgery date. They removed my cast and said I was healing very good. His exact words were "well look at that perfect arch" That thrilled me since I have NEVER had any thing about me be perfect. They left the butterfly tape on my incisions and told me to let it fall off by itself. I told him he didn't have to worry about me pulling anything off. LOL After removing my hard cast they took me to x-ray to make sure my bone is fusing correctly. As you can see in the x-ray photo you can hardly see where he cut my bone and shifted it up. I included a photo of my heel where they put the screw in. I had been having a pain (it felt like I had stepped on a nail) in my heel for a few days. After removing my cast he found that they had accidentally left a stitch in my heel that was pulling and causing it to hurt. I feel better now that he removed that stitch.

Now if I can just get used to not having a hard cast on to protect my foot. They placed me in an air cast for at least the next five weeks and I will start PT next Monday. Not looking forward to that at all since I figure it will be uncomfortable and painful.
