Day 20 (~3 weeks Post Op)

Nothing super significant to report since my last post. The itching has pretty much subsided after a few days of intense itch attacks. Still not sure if it was the aloe/cortizone/lotion I put on it or it just simply went away. By the last time I had an attack, which was about two days ago, I only put some aloe and cetaphil on it and it went away after a few minutes. Since then I've been good. 

The morning soreness has also been a little bit better. It still wakes me up every morning, but now I don't need to keep my foot elevated at night. It looks like the morning soreness might be because I keep the boot on and my feet can't move around too much and my toes aren't allowed to point down. So I've been loosening the boot up a little bit before bed and it helps. When I wake up, I move my foot around and ice it and I'm good. 

In terms of elevation and ice, I only do it half as much as I was doing it last week. So that should be a positive sign, hopefully. I'll see the doc at the 4 week mark which is next week. I'll probably post another update then. Til then, farewell!!
