I had my first post-op visit with my orthopedic today, and things are looking good. My screws and plate appear to be keeping my ligaments and bones together, as they would normally be.
I have two sets of surgical staples (one on each side of the ankle). I got to see them for the first time today... I look a little like Frankenstein. :-)
And my nasty fracture blister is gone!
I'm in a splint for another week. I need to rest this week, because I still have a decent amount of swelling in my foot.
If all goes well, I should have my staples remove next week, and moved into a cast. Then, I can start getting my life a little back to normal.
