Swelling is down a bit from last week, so I need to keep doing what I'm doing (elevate and ice). Two more weeks until I can walk again! My job now is to exercise my ankle, toes, and big toe joint a few times a day.
I was able to get a bit of explanation from my x-rays this week. Turns out that I have 9 screws total in my foot (7 on the big toe side and 2 on the little toe side). If you look back to the pic from last week, there are 6 screws going straight down and one long screw going horizontially. On the other side of my foot, there a two tiny screws that crisscross each other. My doctor assured me that my foot will not set off metal detectors.
