Trystan is still continuing to have heel pain. I called the surgeon's office this morning because of the heel pain and also because the doctor told me to make an appointment for one week post-op. The head nurse from the surgeon's office told me she would call me back. When she called back she told us to come in the office at 3:00 p.m. today. The plan is to cut the soft cast off, take a look at her heel, and replace with a new soft cast.


Left house about 1:30 p.m. for her appoitnment at 3:00 p.m. Got to the doctor's office about 2:45 p.m. Didn't have to wait too long and were called back to go to the casting room. They cut the splint cast off to check her heel and yes, she did have a sore on it. Her leg on the other hand looked great! There wasn't a bump where the bone and hardware had slipped and had made a raised bump just below her knee. They decided to go ahead and put a regular fiberglass cast since there was very little swelling. She chose the color red this time. I was really surprised! They padded it with gause and cotten wrap to cushion her heel. I think she could tell the difference right away. Hoping she continues to heal quickly and with little pain.
