Surgery Was a Success

Friday's surgery appears to have gone very well. The new skin in my ankle is maintaining it's normal color, and when they check it for a pulse, there is always a strong pulse. Also they have not had to use leeches this time which is another good sign. This means that there is good blood flow going in and out of that area. Now it is just a matter or time to allow everything to heal properly. Currently I am stuck in bed with my foot elevated, but they figure by Tuesday I should be able to start using some crutches to get around. Then by Friday (July 27) I should finally be able to go home. That will be awesome. Cannot wait. Also I have been informed by my doctors that there was no cancer at the edges of were they took all of this flesh out of my ankle which is good. They will test everything that they removed from my ankle to see if any cancer was in there, but it looks good. Will post when I have more new news.
