Britt's foot update

Britt went to see the orthopedic surgeon last tuesday for a checkup. He told him that it was looking good and that we wanted him to start some physical therapy 3 times a week for the next 4 weeks. He said it will help with range of motion and take the swelling down. The doctor also told Britt that its actually good to use it as much as the pain will allow and that Britt walking on it is good.

We went to my office last night and I gave Britt's foot some ultrasound and muscle stimulation therapy. As we were there my boss came and we talked to him about Britt's foot. Well he told us to do the therapy and then go home and elevate and ice it and then ace bandage it up to his knee because he still has swelling that high. He said that it would force the swelling to move up his leg. Well sure enough, Britt woke up today and and there was NO, yes I said NO swelling in his foot and leg at all. He calf muscle is smaller than the good leg, which with the swelling it was lots bigger. So this was a good thing because neither one of us knew how long he was going to have such swelling. Anyways, looks like we are on the uphill of things.
