Three more weeks of a cast

Michael had another visit with his surgeon today. The visit started out hopeful when they removed his cast. He was smiling at the thought when he was reminded that he MAY need another put on depending on the X rays. Sure enough he was in need of another, however he did get the stitches and the pins out. It amazed me that they just grabbed the heads of the pins and pulled. No anesthetic or anything was used . Michael said that the two were not too bad but the third ( the longest ) hurt quite a bit. Now the doctor said that in three weeks at his next appointment this cast will definitely come off and be replaced with a walking boot. The boot will be used for a month .Then he will be able to learn to walk properly on the foot for a few weeks before we start all over again with the other foot.
