Rest Day

Saw my surgeon, Dr Lee today.  Cast was removed, foot re-angled and a new fibreglass cast put on.  I can now flex my left foot to 45' but pointing with control is still difficult.  Complete atrophy of the left calf has already occurred.  I was shocked at how quickly this has happened but apparently it's normal.  I will see Dr Lee in two weeks' time for another readjustment and new cast.

If squirmish, then time to look away...

 This is the angle my foot has been at since March 9th when I fell.
 Extension to 45' now possible.  Light tension in the shin when extended.
 Atrophy of left calf.  :(
New fibreglass cast at 45' and some space for minor extension and flexion of toes/foot.
