Okay, I promised a picture and here it is. This is the incision made on my left foot. We held a ruler up to it so that you could see that the incision is less than one inch.

This picture was taken the day after my first post-op appointment where my doc removed all of the gauze. I apologize that it’s taken a few days for me to post it to the blog.

Surgical incision and stitches

Surgical incision and stitches

It seems to be healing well. I’ll take another picture before and after my appointment on Thursday where my doc will remove the stitches.

Every day I pat a drop of liquid stabilized oxygen (O2 Plus) onto the incision to help it heal. I also add the oxygen drops to my water when I take my supplements twice a day. I’m doing everything I can to insure healing and a successful procedure.

So, looking at the picture it doesn’t look like that big of a deal, but I assure you that that little incision packs a wallop! I can’t imagine how painful a large incision would be.

From that pic you can also see that there’s no swelling. Awesome, huh!
