Returned to Work Today...

I returned to work today after missing the last couple of days of my vacation and the first day I should have been back to work. Things went pretty good  and it certainly does not seem anymore swollen. It's still pretty ugly and I won't post picture because to the untrained eye it looks sick.

I did have to practice all those things I teach my patients. Things such as good foot steps up, bad foot steps down. Put your bad foot a little out in front of your good foot sitting or standing to take off the pressure. Keep doing your ankle pumps and elevate your feet, it does help with edema. Rest if you need to and drink plenty of water. These things work. 

Speaking of water after swigging down a bottle on our vacation I teach grandson Warren what fun can be had from found objects. After you drink the water, let me hit you on the head with the bottle. Warren thought it was hilarious. 

I don't want you off my lawn and I know that a certain number of patients are going to be non compliant with any education but can you imagine doing this with an ipad?
