A Little Foot Update


– making slow progress with the foot. The calcaneus is coming around so that I can almost put my full weight on it. I think I'll be wearing a boot and limping a bit for a while to come yet. It still smarts to put weight on it and the muscle is atrophied and the whole joint really stiff. I do have the bonus of some cool hardware to carry with me (a plate, cadaver bone and 10 screws). I have been growing a 'victory beard' since the surgery and I've informed my doctor I'm hoping to be able to shave it off before I begin to look like a member of Duck Dynasty. [He seemed to take the comment in the correct vein and said he had not heard of applying the victory beard to his surgeries, but liked the idea]​
