My first doctor visit after surgery. He said everything looked fine. It was the first time I saw my foot. It made me light headed and I thought I was going to pass out when Brenda (the doctor's assistant) was taking the dressing off. He cleaned around the incision with alcohol but told me to clean around the pin sites by using Q-tips with hydrogen peroxide twice a day. The doctor gave me the key to turn the fixator. I need to turn 4 times a day (every 6 hours). Each turn is a quarter mm. He said that I need 16 mm so if it is 1 mm a day, I will need to turn for 16 days.
I didn't turn it at the doctor's office and when I tried to turn at home the fixator wouldn't turn. I called Brenda and then Doctor Shabazz called me saying that he was going to stop by to see what the problem was. He is such nice doctor. I've never heard of a doctor that comes to your house.
