Had another follow up today.  He asked how it was doing and I told him “no gunk on the band-aid for a week or so.  I’m hoping that’s a good sign.”  First thing he said when he got a good look at the hole was “oh yeah, that’s healed.”  From there it went pretty well. … Read More »

Went in for yet another follow-up today.  I was really hoping the question would be “do you want to go back to work tomorrow, or on Monday?”  Nope.  Two millimeters.  That’s how deep the hole still is. A 2mm divot, ferfarksake.  Two.  Gorram.  Millimeters.  So now I’m off until at least 7 September.  Going back… Read More »

Another follow-up and HR paperwork drama! Had yet another follow-up on Monday.  I was really hoping he was going to say everything was good to go.  But noooo.  The Hole still isn’t quite healed.  It’s down to 1mm diameter and 5mm deep, so it’s right there, but still not quite.  #&@*! My next follow-up is… Read More »

Short one this time because it’s mostly just more of the same “yep, still got an open wound there.  Two weeks.”  I had yet another follow-up on Tuesday.  This one was with the doctor I’ve mentioned as basically being House.  The wound on the side of my foot, the one that’s holding everything up, has… Read More »

Had another follow-up today.  I was supposed to last week, but the doctor had an emergency to deal with so it got pushed back.  No big deal.  It’s healing up pretty nicely except for that one spot that’s been refusing to.  That spot is down to a 1/8” to 3/16” diameter hole about 1/2” to… Read More »

Had yet another follow-up this morning.  Doctor looked it over and said it was healing pretty well.  Well enough that he removed some of the stitches.  I still have the stitches on the bottom of my foot, but the ones on the side have been removed.  The one bad spot is still weeping some fluid,… Read More »

Two follow-ups in two days.  Yesterday I went back to the podiatrist who did the surgery.  He said it looks good, it’s healing pretty well, and that the one spot that’s still leaking is to be expected considering it’s where all the stitches come together and is right over where the infection was on the… Read More »

Had my first follow-up after the surgery today.  He said it looks good.  Everything is healing up, and so far it looks like I’m making a solid recovery.  There’s still some drainage from one spot, but that’s to be expected from a bone infection like I had.  Doctor referred to it as my “Flux Capacitor”… Read More »
