clean! (warning, foot pictures below)

Got the stitches out yesterday and I'm amazed at how much better it looks this time than last.

3 weeks post-op
Very little swelling, and the incision seems to be healing as it should! Which is huge because last time I had a lot of trouble which tacked on another month to the process. I can now move my ankle and start to get some mobility back and take a shower without wrapping my foot in plastic - which felt so good!

My calf is already atrophying. The muscle is pure squish. Amazing how quickly that happens.

I did some exercises this morning, and (shocking) I really see a connection between how I feel when I do even the slightest activity and when I just sit on my butt. I need to start crutching around the neighborhood a bit - building up little by little just to get some air and exercise. I'm doing a bit better with food, and counting the days until we go back on W30. Thinking about trying for 100 days this time, but there will likely by some work travel and vacation that could make that not such a great idea.
