Foot surgery update

On Friday (December 27th), Ben drove me to my follow-up with my surgeon for my first post-op visit.  I got to have the soft cast removed and just a light bandage was applied to take me through January 3rd (my second post-op appointment).

Dr. Miller liked how everything looked.  No infections anywhere and the wound is healing nicely.  He said it is highly unlikely that the bone spur would ever grow back.  Yippee! 

Dr. Miller is out-of-town for the New Year so I will be seeing his partner on January 3rd to get my stitched removed and that will be my final doctor's appointment.  Depending on pain, I should be able to begin running again around January 20th!

 My foot (on Friday)

I think there are about 5 stitches, not totally sure

The discoloration on my toes is just from the swelling.  It doesn't hurt.

I have to keep this completely dry until January 3rd when I get the bandage removed.

(I did get a pedicure the day before surgery)
