The end of the feet













The feet are pretty much wrapped up so here's some pictures to show the progress. The first picture was taken 9.20.06, sixteen days after the tumor removal (and two days prior to skin graft). Note the good granulation forming on the muscle, slightly less on the ligament. This is exactly what the plastic surgeon was looking for.
The next picture was taken 9.27.06, five days after the skin graft. Those are not stitches. The grafted skin just "sticks" to all the great granulation growth.
The next photo taken 10.07.06, a little more than a week later - healing up great.
I no longer have any restrictions on this foot and can put full weight on it. Tomorrow I meet with the Orthopaedic Surgeon to discuss the hip/pelvis.
