Staples out and cast on

Dec 31, 2025

This is Heather, and I want to thank each and every one who has donated, shared this page, or taken the time to read it. Surgery went well and this past Monday, I saw the Orthopedic Surgeon for a post-op visit. He took my staples out (13 on the outside and 7 on the inside of my left ankle), cleaned both incisions, and applied a cast (oooo, in my favorite color 😊). I have a follow-up visit in a little over 3 weeks from now when the cast will come off and I will receive my next instructions. Per original conversation with Ortho, I should be able to return to work 4-6 months after surgery, so at least each day is one day closer to that goal. In the meantime, I am so lucky to be surrounded by a wonderful support group that includes my Mom, friends, and all of you here. Thank you so much! I am truly humbled by the generosity that each of you has bestowed upon me. I appreciate each and every one of you, and wish you a wonderful and safe New Year’s Eve.
