Finally some good news

Look - no splint!
Look - I have a skinny leg!
Mr Reilly went for his bandage change this morning and his surgeon was so happy with how his foot has healed this past week that they decided to give him try without the splint. His leg and foot is pretty weak from not being used all these weeks so he is still hobbling around but now he only has to wear his orthopedic boot. He will still need to have twice daily foot washes and antibiotics put on it and he still on house arrest for a couple more weeks but hopefully he will start building some muscle mass back and get use to walking on his foot again. We just have to be super careful that he doesn't put to much pressure on the scar tissue and we have added extra padding to his boots to help cushion his foot more.

  10. Mr Reilly, you are smart to not put much weight on that foot. I know you don't want the splint back, even if you get adorable bandages on it. Hey, did you get anyone to sign it?

  17. We're just catching up. First the bad news and now the better news that the bandage has gone. We do think you need at least one more boot to match, preferably 3 more. Take it easy with the rehab.
