OK - I am one week out for cast removal and hopefully K-wire removal, and into the boot. I am getting soooo sick of the cast! Feels like I am dragging an anchor around on my foot all day - or wearing heavy wool socks in the summer time. When my foot swells I feel the wounds pressing against the cast. Every day I dream of the technician using his 'saw' to cut it off -(the cast - not my foot :-) ) and the relief I will feel - ahhhh! So - I am a little anxious - I know they will take an X-ray - and I am assuming foot is healing well, wounds healing well - that I get to the boot and not any bad news - like 'you need to go back into a cast'. Not too worried about the wire removal - you all tell me that it really does not hurt. Time does fly though - It will be six weeks since my surgery on Sunday. Hard to imagine that my left foot has not touched the ground in 6 weeks - and that I coped this long.
You see - We ALL have the capability to endure these types of things - You need mental stamina as well as physical. Keep positive my fellow elite Lisfranc injury club members! (Not a club that we encourage anybody to join).
