The ortho doc unwrapped the cast today and said my ankle looked wonderful. No redness, minimal swelling, no drainage, and best of all: no pus! Whew! Great news, eh? No pus... Lil shakes head in wonderment. Then his helper rewrapped it for another week.

Personally, I thought it looked icky, but then I never even took biology in college. I took physics: no bodily excretions or fluids. \:\)

Bf took a picture of the ankle with his zillion-mega-pixel camera so his daughter (the athletic trainer) could see it in excruciating detail.

Anyone who wants a picture, please write your name and address on the back of an 8 X 10 glossy picture of YOUR ankle (no socks, please), attach a $20 bill, and a self-addressed stamped envelope, and just hold on to these things. I'll be in touch. ;\)
