Here are the pictures of my foot after the operation. About 20 stitches, a couple of buttons and wire holding it together. I asked for an extra spring in the toe to give me a little more speed but the doc wouldn't add that. :-(

Wow! Pretty neat pics. I don't know much about foot surgery, but that looks pretty clean. Doesn't look like he sliced any more than he had to. Maybe hold off on this weekends LR though.

Here's to quick healing. I can't believe he wouldn't give you the extra spring. Where's his sense of adventure?

you are tough and crazy doing all that running on it before surgery that's look serious. I thought you were just a whiny :) you dont need extra spring you fast enough.

really cool photos, thanks for sharing! So how long before the doc says you can go try that foot out! Has he got you putting any weight on it yet? Nice to see those x-rays, gives a better picture of what you were telling us!!! Get well really soon!!!

Wow! Can you walk around on it yet? Hope it's one on those things that looks more painful than it actually is...
Heal fast!

Thanks for checking in on me guys. I had to take three days off work to keep it elevated. Since then it's not been too bad. I can walk as long as I just walk on my heel (I have one of those big metal, foam, velcor boots). I used a cane for a few days to get around.
The doctor hasn't told me how long before I can run but I did ask him if he got it fixed good. He said "I think so" and I said "good because I'm sure going to test it!" His reply was "you runners!!!".

I've always wanted a cane...

Glad to hear the recovery is coming along good. Did running actually cause this injury or was it something else?

Why didn't you ask the doctor for one of those four wheeled walker things....you know the ones at the old folks home! (-:, (-:, (-:' . Get well soon...

I like how you posted these pictures in the future. Great pics, thanks for sharing. Glad the healing is moving ahead, praying for a quick full recovery. With the help of a 4 wheeled walker....

Hows the foot coming along?
From I Just Run on Fri, Apr 17, 2015 at 07:52:59 from 67.79.11.242
Everything is healing well...I think. Just hobbling around with a big boot on my foot!
From Matt Schreiber on Wed, Apr 22, 2015 at 20:04:12 from 66.17.102.175
Hey, just checking in to see if you've started running yet. ;) Just kidding. Hope all is well!

From Tom Slick on Tue, Apr 28, 2015 at 15:26:24 from 168.179.158.193
