Day 3 - Let the wrappings begin!

My measurements:
Thigh - 67 cm
Mid Calf - 53 cm
Ankle - 26.8 cm
Foot - 24.5 cm
Everything is the same except for my thigh.

Standard massage today: shoulders, neck, face, pits, sides, and lower legs.

My wounds have granulation tissue on them! Heal babies, heal! I need you to heal so I can go to the pool and lose 4 years of fat!












So they started wrapping my lower leg today. Boy, what a freakin' process. I have a protectivelegging covered up the lower half of my leg to prevent sore spots and rubbing.

-First they start with the toe wraps. Each toe gets wrapped around twice. Each. Individual. Toe.
-Then a bandage padding material is wrapped all the way up to my knee several times. Overlapping each layer.
-Then a stretchy legging is placed over the bandage padding materials.
-And finally open weave wraps, similar to these, are wound in a certain pattern all the way up my leg.

I can't wear normal shoes on that foot, it blows. I had to wrap my foot in a plastic Wal-Mart bag until I could get some surgical booties. So attractive.

Tomorrow's appointment is at 10:00 AM. I get to take the wrap off and shower before my appointment and they put it back on. On Monday my whole leg will be wrapped, all the way up to my hip. Hooray. :\
