Day Five ~ Post surgery update

Hello All!

Today is day five since my peroneal tendon repair on Monday and I'm doing very well.  Yesterday was my first follow up appointment with my surgeon and the first time I was able to see the incision. When they removed the cast, we were all relieved to see that there was little to no swelling and the incision is starting to heal. 

The surgeon told me he was able to clean out a large amount of scar tissue and successfully secured the peroneal long tendon to the brevis tendon.  He asked if I wanted to see a photo.  Why did he take a photo?  Because this is a very rare injury and my case may be able to help others in the future.  I'll  post the photo in the next blog
