Good News (& Gross Pictures)

We went to the surgeon's office this week awaiting a cast for Tucker's Achilles. We even spent the night before deciding what color he wanted for his cast.

When the doctor took off the soft cast that had been put on him after surgery he was more than impressed with how well Tucker was healing. He has 13 staples going down the back of his foot, there was little swelling, good color, and no infection. The doctor made the decision that Tucker was healing so well that he wouldn't put him in a cast for the previously discussed 4 weeks. Instead, Tucker has a nice boot that he will remain in for the next few months.

We have another doctors appointment a couple days before Christmas to get the staples out (pictures below).

Tucker is so positive about his current situation. He is quarantined to the couch or bed with his foot elevated for at least another 2 weeks. And he doesn't even complain.
