Today I went to the doctor and they removed my bandage. I took this video of what it looks like. You can see a large incision in the middle where they went in to line the bones up. There are two small taped incisions on the inside of my leg, one near my ankle, and one by my knee, which is where they put in the screws. The screws anchor the rod to the bone and keep it from twisting. Finally, there is one larger incision on my knee which is where they inserted the rod.
I don't have a bandage anymore, but I still wear a protective boot and can't put any weight on it. My next doctor's appt. is in 6 weeks. Beth will be about to pop by then! The doctor said that everything is going well. I'm now allowed to go back to work, but only from home.

EEK I just noticed that it was a video. At first I was like oh, I'm sure that hurt, but gee, that doesn't look soooo bad, considering what happened. Oops... the other sides look really icky. Take care of that leg. You're going to need it.
