Dr. Petrisor took the cast off and did an xray. He was pleased with the results. I have 2 screws and 5 external pins. These things are disgusting. They put a full hard cast on and I still have no weight bearing for another 5 weeks. I get around with crutches if I have to or I have a wheel chair at home and am having one delivered to work as well. We make arrangements to have a taxi pick me up every day and also have a helper here in the morning as well as the evening when I get home. Swelling remains a huge problem. Each chance I get I keep my foot elevated and at home in the evening I use ice. The pins continue to be the most uncomfortable. When my foot swells the pins get pinched.
