At Home EMT 2

I took my wife to see the podiatrist last Thursday and it was a mix of good and bad news. The x-rays he took of her foot after getting the splint off showed a 2.8mm avulsion fracture to the talus bone. The good news is that do to the small size of the fracture, surgery isn't likely and she should be in a walking cast in the first week of July. Hopefully, she'll be fully healed by the end of July.

The bad news is that the urgent care clinic where she had her follow up x-rays taken 2 weeks ago did a poor job of wrapping and splinting her foot. Due to insufficient padding, pinch points, and pressure points that were formed into the splint, my wife is developing ulcerations in her foot. We know about it now, so we're taking steps to make sure they heal up properly, but the podiatrist tells us his biggest concern at this point is this soft tissue damage.

Hopefully, all goes well. My wife is tired of not being on her feet. We're hurting for income since she's not working (why can't she hurt herself at work?). And summer is just starting, the weather is improving and we can't be out together enjoying it. Think good thoughts for us.
