Pin Removal and Walking Cast

We saw Dr. Scott on Tuesday (4 weeks after surgery) and:
  • they cut off Mary's cast
1st cast - from surgery

unveiling of the pin
  • took x-rays of the 8 plate in her knee and the pin and plate in her foot
8 plate


pin and plate
  • pulled the pin from her foot (Mary was dreading this part but she did great. She said it was fine and it just hurt a little bit afterwards.)




the pin
  • she can now bear weight so they gave her a walking cast and

Dr. Scott held her foot to get it in as much of a 90 degree angle as possible

Yes, she chose the exact same color combo. It was the "cast guys" 1st time doing 1/2 stripes but I think she has started a trend

The little cast show so she doesn't slip


    She can walk without crutches once she she can do it
  • she was so happy to be able to walk and get her independence back!!!


By the time I got home from work she was outside without crutches practicing volleyball!


  • We go back in 2 weeks and she will get a walking boot after all! She will be so happy to be able to go swimming!!!
