Still Life with Leg Wound

I took this photo today. I dug up my first potatoes (ever!) and got so excited that I forgot how much my leg was aching. I got out the camera for a little shot with the ruler, cuke, and first spuds, and threw my leg in there at the last moment. For more pix of the potatoes, click here.

Latest Leg Photo

It has now been ten weeks since my leg surgery. The surgical wound is still not quite healed. Here's a photo I took this morning. (Click here for others.)

On August 20, Dr. Jacobs gave me permission to resume swimming and even dancing. It was the best news I'd heard in a million years.

I still have to use the Normatec device for several hours every day. Each time I use it, even for just half an hour, more stuff oozes out of the surgical wound on my leg. This weirds me out a little, but I take my cues from the doctors I trust, and if they're not worried, then I try not to worry either.

No worries. :-)
