27 days post op appointment went good. The doctor said I was doing better than he expected. It is longer than my fifth toe now, and the X rays show haziness in the gap. He wants me to turn it for 5 more days and it should be the length I want and I'll go for my 4 week check up April 23rd and if it's the length I want we'll leave the fixator on for about a month to let the bone harden. He also said if my toe starts to want to press downward then he will remove the pin that's in the toe to keep tendons straight. My ankle has been hurting a night time whenever I want to go to sleep for a few days but It has stopped and it gets agitated when I turn it but, it won't be long and it will be off. Still using crutches to get around and wearing the ugly shoe they gave me. I put it flat on the floor when I sit sometimes but that's about it! Here's another pic, my toes are a little swollen.
