I came across this blog, when I was googling "fib tib wound", cuz the wound nurse is coming to visit me in two days, because my wound from my fracture was healing nicely, and they said I could be up and around, and a couple days later, the wound had doubled again! Darn! I have diabetes also, which makes matters worse.......They have been putting calcium alginate (?) into the wound, then wrapping it......but we will have to see what the visit on Friday tells me. They are thinking I may need a wound vac also......didn't know what that all entailed either.......oh dear! Well, I will be back to read more of your blog tomorrow. But love all the pictures, and the honesty, hope you are continuing to do well!

You have quite the stones to post those pics (and look at them. Keep up the fight on the road back to "normal" life.

Some of those pics should be framed, they are fantastic. At one point, right before they start closing you up it looks like they turned your leg into an ood (doctor who character, look it up youll laugh real hard). And. I loved foot just hanging out in his little basket like hes in timeout...forever. Its so amazing to see the whole process and how their hands move so amazingly and every little step that goes into somethinglike this, really makes me think about everything they did to me and how utterly awesome it all is. Its very inspirational. I would also like to add that le stump looks like a baseball and that makes me think this was all just an elaborate rouse so you could go down in history as the biggest baseball fan of all time. Which, if true, would be epic. But alas i feel you will just have to go down as the most determined snow sport enthusiast in recent memory, and thats pretty cool too.darknoonthirtyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01696422684393813056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496231175684208893.post-79550319570175187682013-09-02T10:52:02.328-04:002013-09-02T10:52:02.328-04:00Awesome dude, that was both horrifying and engross...Awesome dude, that was both horrifying and engrossing!!
