This nurse was from the doctor's office. My surgeon's nurse (all contact with him goes thru her) was ok with this or a wait and see.
I rode with my mom to the pharmacy today, about an hour and a half, but I lay in the backseat with it elevated. I still can't leave it down for any period of time as it swells. Other than that, its elevated above my heart in my recliner rigged with a ton of pillows. That's how i've been pretty much since I came home...if I do anything else, it swells. The ankle joint itself is still significantly swollen, anyway.
I will watch my temp tonight and get in to someone tomorrow. I don't need any kind of bug right now, really. I'll go to the guy who hands out antibiotics freely.
My skin is falling off my heel, too. Its itchy and super gross.
