Removed Stitches

Yesterday (August 7th) I went and got almost all of my stitches removed from my foot. Home Care removed 28 stitches, but left three until I go back for a bandage change on Friday. The reason of leaving the three is because they thought that if they removed them, the area they are keeping closed may open up. So they thought a few more days will give it enough time to close the area for good. Other then that, things have been going good. My foot is getting better as the days go by. I am able to walk on it without any problems. I think the brace gets in the way more then anything, but I am still supposed to use it until the end of the month. Also from what I can see, it seems the swelling has gone down a fair bit now that they have removed the stitches. Will have to see on Friday when they look at it again to see if it actually have gone down. That is all I know for now. Will post again when there is more news.
