Not Quite 5-weeks Post-Op

Photo update! Here's my foot this morning at two days short of 5 weeks.

A bit puffier - sigh
The joint is a bit puffy this morning, as it has been since Sunday. Saturday it was in the boot all day and not elevated as much as normal as I wasn't home most of the day. Pain-level is about the same -- nil -- but the persistent puffiness is kind of a bummer. Doing lots of massage to try to force the fluid out.

The worst of it is that the ankle is now very stiff and kinda ache-y with some slight puffiness. Been really working my flexing and rotating to try to work it out but it stays about the same. Think I'll get my T.E.N.S. unit out and do a few days of e-stim to help it out.
