Ankle update please! Are you still in the boot? How is your mom?
Yes still in the boot. I am supposed to be full weight bearing by now, but the home healthcare place never called to tell me my walker was in. I also now have severe itching around both incisions which surgeon thinks is an allergic reaction to either the stitches or maybe the adhesive used. He would not prescribe anything for it just told me to put Benadryl ointment on it, which does absolutely nothing to stop the itching. He did say he did not think this was rejection of hardware or any allergy to the hardware because I guess that would show on the x-ray(?)
My mom unfortunately got the flu last week. She thought she was over it, but got sick yesterday and had to drive herself to the hospital because I’m not allowed to drive yet even though it’s the left leg that’s injured.🙄 The er didn’t do much for her even though they kept her there for around 8 hours yesterday. They did some tests but said they didn’t show anything wrong. They think she may have had an allergic reaction to some shampoo my aunt gave her to use. (My aunt is a retired beautician) She apparently had sores on her head, which she didn’t tell me about.
Sorry for the long reply but nothing is ever simple with us😂 Thank you for thinking of me and my mom. 😻😻😻
