5th & 6th Weeks

After about a week in the cast, my foot started to loosen up around my ankle and back part of the foot. This seems good but it also creates additional pressure points as my ankle relaxes and the foot slips upwards. I have to push my heal back down into my cast frequently. It still feels tight around my toes. My foot has many sensations. Cool, tingly, prickly, pain, itchy, etc. Sometimes I can pinpoint exactly where the pain is and I imagine it's one particular bone doing it's healing thing. My 4th toe, the one that was dislocated, still feels really weird from time to time. It feels really fat and big but it doesn't look that swollen. I don't feel I could put any weight whatsoever on the foot. I could maybe put pressure on my heel but no where else.

I go back to the doctor on Monday, Feb 9th. My husband will be at work, and my father-in-law is going to be gone on a trip. I got a friend at work to take me to the doctor and hopefully my husband can pick me up.
