Steve's casts

Steve had the staples removed from his incision today and a new cast put on. He opted for the stylish, but classicly simple, color of black this time - although Izzy and I tried really hard to get him to choose PINK! The incision looked good, there was hardly any bruising, and it didn't look like much atrophy in his his calf muscles had happened yet. So all good signs. They increased the angle of his foot about 10 degrees, and you can tell with the new cast, made it much snugger since a lot of the swelling has gone away. He'll go back in another 2 weeks, and at that time they'll do some initial tests to see how the tendon is handling pressure and get an idea of how much longer till he can start putting some weight on it.

The beautiful incision - I thought it looked cool, Steve got queasy. ;)

The new cast.

Before we left for the doctor, Steve let us decorate his old cast.


Just a cute picture of Izzy. Her hair is finally long enough I can put some small braids in. And yes, I did take it while she was sitting on the potty - so it's been cropped to be decent. =) She is fully potty trained now, which is great!
