Well, we headed off early to the hospital today for a check up. Expecting to be there for quite a while.
We arrived at 8.30 for my first appointment. X-rays....
By the time my hubby booked me in, found a wheelchair (I'm no good at these crutches), got me out of the car, parked the car and got me inside. It was time to be called in .. NO WAITING.
Back around to reception A to see the Dr.. Yep all is healing well.
Go and have the cast off

| The renovator cutter is about to cut the cast open |

| The cast being cut through |
 |
| The bruising and swelling has gone down after 2 weeks |
The new cast is put on...
 |
| Wrapping my foot/leg with the plaster mesh |
And then X-rays again.....
Back in to see the Dr... All is good. See you in 4 weeks....
All of this only took 2 hours. So we were home for lunch. Then a sleep.
I am very happy that my ankle is healing well and I don't need to have it pinned. That's a relief...

| My new purple cast for 4 weeks |
4 more weeks of stitching, resting, knitting and crochet....
Hope to get heaps done...

Very pleased to hear your leg is healing nicely. You must have felt very relieved.
Glad to hear you are healing nicely. Pretty purple this time. I'm not very good at using crutches either. I think I'll hurt myself more if I have to use them again. Happy healing.
Glad to hear your leg is healing well...
Hi Jo so glad it is all going well and that you didnt have to wait very long ...
Hi Jo, glad you are healing quickly, enjoy your enforced rest.
Glad that it's going well! I love your choices of cast colors--making the best of it.
Great pics...I always cringe when they use that saw!! GRRRR....Augh four weeks seems like forever huh! Hang in there! So glad things are healing so well.
Love the new cast and am blown away by the northern hospital clinic. Usually it is almost an all day thing for an 8.30 appt. the bruising looks impressive too!
Good news! Healing and stitching.....great combination.
