[Photos from Tuesday 23 February 2016, posted on 25 February 2016. \u00a0It feels nice to be freeeee!<\/em>]<\/p>\n

This past Tuesday morning, I made my way to the ER to have my leg-cast removed. \u00a0I had an early appointment, which was great, because as I waited to have my x-ray taken, a ton of people lined up after me in the their wheelchairs, all waiting for the same thing!<\/p>\n

Anyway, the doctor liked what he saw, so now I’m to start putting some weight on the foot, but not too much, or a screw may break. \u00a0This screw will then be removed on 22 March.<\/p>\n

\"Waiting<\/a>

Waiting outside the cast-removal room .<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

\"Bzzzz....\"<\/a>

Bzzzz….<\/p><\/div>\n

\"The<\/a>

The inside of the leg. All that dark stuff was pushing up against the cast when the foot would swell up, making it ache.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"The<\/a>

The outside of the foot.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"At<\/a>

At the front of the wheelchair line for the x-ray. The nurses kept moving us forward as more people joined the line, and by the end I was past the fire extinguisher.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"The<\/a>

The ever-growing wheelchair line.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Finally,<\/a>

Finally, an x-ray image! That horizontal screw will be removed after 4 weeks.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Side<\/a>

Side view.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Since<\/a>

Since I was feeling free, we made a quick stop at work, where I picked up the only shoes I have which I can use these days, and then went and had lunch at Gl\u00f3.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"My<\/a>

My lovely feet. The calf on the injured foot has shrunk a bit.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"View<\/a>

View from behind.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Leg<\/a>

Leg getting increasingly more angry as the blood starts to pool. Here’s hoping it won’t be angry for too long!<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
