Six weeks past my screw removal and things suck. I am still in a cast with instructions to be out of the cast as tolerated. I haven't really been able to tolerate it. When I go castless, I usually regret it the next day. Saturday, the foot hurt quite a bit. I did my normal grocery thing with a bit more added in because of Thanksgiving coming. Halfway thru Costco, it hurt pretty badly. I soldiered on, but was in  a lot of pain that evening. At the moment, it's about a 5. That's worse that right after surgery!

Tomorrow is my 6 week x-ray and I hope they say it is healing. I'm pretty scared Things are not going well. I keep hearing the nurse practitioner saying, "If we'd had your ok, we would have done a bone graft. Of course, now I worry about that.

Anyway, pain is a 5, swelling on top by toes is about a 4.
