Recovery from 5th procedure

Mary's recovery from Tuesday's procedure was one day!!! Getting two new pins in her leg didn't hurt too bad (just as Dr. Scott and Miranda said) and the cast on her foot hasn't caused the discomfort I was expecting. I assume Dr. Scott is slowly moving the foot in a straighter position. He told her he would give her a new cast 2 weeks after the procedure so I assume he will slowly make corrections with serial casting.

With the new look we have been able to keep range of motion in her knee but Mary needs to learn to put weight on her foot. She is back to using her walker instead of crutches. She did put weight on her foot for the first time last night.

We removed the gauze last night and will start the pin cleaning today or tomorrow. I am assuming that will be painful since the pins are in a new area.

All is well...
