Howdy Gang,
Well I have had a little bit of a setback with my foot. I was at the ER Friday afternoon until Friday evening. They are worried that I might have an infection because my one incision is not healing right away. They gave me some antibiotics through and IV and sent me home. I had to follow up with my Orthopedic doctor on monday. SO Monday came around and I called out to see if I could be seen. Needless to say they was waiting for my phone call because the doctor told them that as soon as I call to get me in and that it didn't matter what his schedule looked like. So we went and seen him and was asking if I did anything different, how my pain levels were, did I get an x-ray to make sure nothing shifted. Answers were no, pain levels are still around 7-8, and yes I did have an x-ray. He looked at the x-ray and nothing shifted but he is worried about how long its taking but also said it has to heal from the inside out because of having 4 other surgeries to the same area. I go back next monday as now he wants me back weekly to keep an eye on it. The doctor did say the antibiotics from the IV will last 2 weeks so we will take it from there. More pain meds were prescribed and I was on my way home to rest some more. I am not allowed to go out and do to much per his orders. I am to stay at home as much as possible and rest. In my opinion I would not recommend anyone get an ankle fusion. 0/10 on the scale.
Today is the first day I've had energy to really do anything as I went to the mailbox to find something in the mail for me. I had ordered a conventional tractor to turn into a MOW vehicle. So that will be worked on over the next week or so after I figure out what I'm going to build as I'm not using to haul trailers.
The weather has been decent here as well but tonight it supposed to get down into the 40's which is odd for this time of the year. No rain in the forecast for a few days as I think we have had enough in the past week or so. But that's what is going on with me. Hope you all have a wonderful evening and take care.
