I have not heard back from either surgeon this week, after I sent an e-mail note and digital pictures. I was a able to schedule a follow-up appointment with the Chicago surgeon for the morning of Monday, April 9th and am looking forward to getting her opinion. I will then follow-up with my St. Louis surgeon on April 11th. The foot continues to supinate or tip to the right. There is a strong 1" between the foot and the ground. I am still using the crutches to walk for most of the time. All of my weight is on the heel area only, so walking continues to be a huge challenge.
The scab that was on my incision came off today too early, so we are starting all over! The inside of my sock was warm and it caused the scab to get soggy (more information that you want to know) and fall apart.
I am anxious to see the Chicago doctor in several weeks and get her opinion. Hopefully she will respond via e-mail in the interim. I am frustrated with how soon the foot deformity has surfaced again . . . this is exactly what we were hoping to avoid.

Hey, girl!
A picture is worth 1000 words, so they say, and all my words about your picture are sad! Yet you still close your blog entries, "Have a joyous week." What an inspiration you are! I would be quite pissy, myself, and growling, moaning, disputing, hissing, and otherwise disagreeable at this stage of the game, myself! Bless you, de-ah! I pray that your spirits continue to be uplifted. We continue to lift your up in our thoughts and prayers. I WAS amused to see the shocking shell pink toenail polish adorning your tootsies! How "you!" As for the "have a joyous week thing": right back at ya, babe!
