Here is an updated picture of the surgery site 8 days post op. The bruising is starting to show and the blister looks more like a blister than it did before, taking on a somewhat liquid form. Both of them look pretty good I think. My leg is starting to itch, but I think it's more from healing and the stitches than anything else.
I go back to see the doctor Feb 12th. He said if everything looks good and I heal enough, the stitches might come out. If not, it will probably be another week till they come out. I am also hoping he will tell me at that time that I can start driving again!! I hate being stuck at home and or dependant on others to get me where I need to go.
Other news. I went to see a head hunter yesterday about a graphic design job, and he seemed pretty excited when he saw my portfolio. Eric was an angel and took me to the meeting and helped carry in my portfolio since I'm stuck with crutches right now. I don't know if anything will come from that meeting, but he wanted me to send him digital copies of some of my work that he could then send on to prospective employers. Sounded pretty good. He also asked one of the other guys in the office to come look at my portfolio and he said that he would remember me when he had possibilities!! Even better right?
I'll keep posting. Each time we change the bandaging every few days I will take photos to see the progress of the healing. Stay tuned for more.
