At my 6 week checkup, they were only changing the cast. I HATED that cast. I wanted it gone and never wanted it back. I couldn't straighten my leg from all the pain and confinement and it was getting to me. My hip hurt and was numb, too from the elevating. Hard on the body! I found that meditation, flexeril and doubling up on ibuprofen helped tremendously.

| Cutting the cast off on the right side. |
 |
| Cutting the cast on the left. It comes off in two halves. |
 |
| The incisions on the right side of my foot are healing nicely. I couldn't believe all the leg hair! YUCK! I also noticed my toenails weren't growing. |
 |
| The leg incision. |
 |
| Incisions on the left side of my foot. |
 |
| That horrible incision on the inside of my foot. Close up and personal! |
 |
| The technician stretching my foot to go back to a 90 degree angle for the cast. |
 |
| She had mercy on me and put extra cotton on. It didn't help. It was still soooo uncomfortable! |
 |
| The next layer of the cast material is applied. |
 |
| The foot all snug in the wrapping once again. |
 |
| Finishing the hard outer layer. It would be on my leg for 2 weeks and 5 days. |
Thanks to my step mom for taking me to this appointment and taking photos.
