Doc on Monday

Well, we saw the foot doc again Monday. He is doing well and is excited for his vacation next week.

Our appointment this week brought x-rays and more wound washing. The swelling has come down incredibly, and the tissue appears to be healing very nicely. This means no surgery today to pick at it and wash it out!
YAY!
This also means that things are looking like he may not need those skin grafts either!!!
In turn, Jer got sent home with a removable "boot" that slips on over your sock. He can now shower and get the foot wet, but still no weight bearing on his right foot. The boot is nice in a way, but very annoying to deal with. Our biggest challenge is keeping the owies from getting infected, now that it isn't in a cast anymore. They encouraged us to let the air get to the tissue to keep it dry, so unwrapping it while resting is what we are to do.....kinda makes Jer nervous. Still no work for Jer. Doc had to tell him that his only job right now was to sit down and to listen to his wife.

I love this guy!

Our next appointment is in 2 weeks. Can't wait to see  him again.
