Heaven is clean socks

[cjsmith]

Post-op appointment this morning. My doctor changed the bandages wrapped all over the outside of my foot but didn't touch the surgical tape over the actual incision. I took a picture, of course (edit: for upload tonight). My feet don't look very pretty. They're orange, wrinkled, and a little bit bruised. They are also starting to smell like feet. Wow did it ever feel good to have clean cotton wrapped around them! I got clean booties, too, and what's more, I got permission to WASH the booties! Oh heaven!

Yay for new socks!

When do you get the tape over the incisions removed?

What did your doc say about how they're healing?

I didn't ask about when the tape gets removed -- I guessed it would be at next week's post-op. That's the last appointment I've got.

She was pleased with how they looked and with my answer about the pain level ("they ache", with a shrug). I must have been following directions properly! :-)
