1 week Update-There will be pics!!

It's been a long 7 days. I am going crazy sitting on my couch, one can only watch so much Netlix. It's been great to catch up on shows but I am dying to just go for a walk. I will be excited when I can just take a normal step forward. I saw the doc yesterday and heres how it went. He cut the bandages off to see how the healing was going. They did ask me if I was going to be ok seeing the bruising and the incision..and  me being a science buff I told them "Yeah, this is what I've been waiting for!" I wanted a pic because I figured if I show my family I would get better service around the house! He took the bandages off and was very happy with the way I was healing. I was on my feet more than they told me I could be so I was worried that it would be bad. It was bruised and a bit swollen. The incision looked pretty good though. The main problem I am feeling is the swelling (lack of circulation) in the forefoot and toes. My feet look like they did when I was 9 months pregnant. If this symptom weren't there this situation wouldn't be that bad. I am still icing, it gives great relief. Prior to surgery I was icing about 5-6 times per day and doing contrast baths 2 times per day. It's basically a waiting game at this point. I am scheduled to get my stitches out next Thursday August 9th. Here are  the pics from yesterday:
