After 7.5 weeks post op, I still have a slight opening in my incision. My OS says this is not good and recommended that he reopen a small portion of the incision then restitch it. This will be done this coming Wednesday, 8/20. I was amazed when he told me I actually have to have the procedure done in the hospital! Tuesday, I go in for my preop testing again! Since my surgery is at 4 pm in the afternoon, I'll work for most of the day on Wednesday then take Thursday off to recoup. I'm told I'll be fine to return to work on Friday.
Otherwise, all is well. I'm now walking with a cane. Have to focus to make sure I'm not walking with a limp. If I take it slow and make sure I place my foot correctly when taking a step I do fine. It's when I try to hurry that I fall back to my old habits. Isn't it funny how it took years for us to get to the condition we were presurgery - yet postsurgery we want everything fixed immediately? At least that's the case for me.
Hope all is well with everyone. Take care!
