Today I went to my first doctor visit since my surgery. Xrays were taken and since everything looked good, the doctor said he could leave my bandages alone. Since I was very nervous about seeing them, I decided to leave them alone and he just changed my ace bandages. I go back in one week to have my stitches removed. I asked him if my pins will be removed at 4 weeks or 6 and he said he couldn't say for sure, but he would know at 4 weeks.
Today I ordered a scar gel called New Gel Plus, to use on the scars on my feet. I used it for another surgery I had and it worked unbelievably well; there is no sign of a scar ever being there. It's a little pricey, but well worth the money spent. I even used it on a couple old scars and it flattened them.
I have to be honest, I was a little bummed when I left my appointment today because I asked my doctor if he had removed the corns that had formed on the top of my toes and from his explanation, I don't think that he did. I didn't want to get even more upset, so I decided that I would wait the bandages come off to just see what was done. He told me before that they would go away once the hammertoes were fixed, but I just wanted them removed to be sure.
Besides all that, everything is going good. I have only taken pain pills once today and that was around 5. I can feel a little soreness, but nothing major and not enough to make me take more pain meds. My doctor said he could see a little swelling near my ankles, but I hadn't noticed.
Have a good night!
