Calibrating progress

First a couple of photos of my leg -

Taken on Sep 18

The wound - much better than the picture posted on September 7th (and I thought that one was progress!)











And a comparison between by left and right feet ... there's still a way to go till the swelling of my right foot and ankle subsides. I don't know why the skin is a different color - maybe a lack of light and air.

On Saturday the milestone of removing he second wedge from my boot.  Now my right heel is 1.5 inches closer to the ground

Two wedges of styrofoam from the heel of my boot

Then I read in the newspaper about the emotional and physical recovery of amputees from the Boston bombings.  I always knew my issues were nothing like theirs, and I have to say that despite my frustrations over my immobility,  I cannot imagine the angst they are suffering.
