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. :-)
