Hey everyone, I hope I didn't ruin any food you were trying to digest when you looked at the pictures. I would like to say that any spots you see are dried blood. I was looking at my leg and there was (and still is, I'll have to scrub to get the mole-ish looking thing off) little bits of blood on my leg. Nasty. Anyway, so yeah I got my staples out, that was really painful. It felt kind of like being pinched except more painful. I was laying down while Chris (he was in fact there) pulled 'em out. I was trying to concentrate on breathing, I moaned on some of them. But it went really quickly. So now there's tape over the cuts. No gushing blood though.
Sorry to gross you all out but my foot looks a lot better than it did 2 weeks ago. It looked like this.
:edit: That gross leg from the link is not my own. My leg looked maybe 1/2 as gross.
But as you can see in the picture with my face in it, I'm looking happy. Well, I was very happy when I left the cast room. Because Dr. Bacon said this cast stays on for 3 weeks, in those 3 weeks I get to put more and more weight on my leg until I'm full weight bearing. And.... The x-ray looks really good, no swelling and stuff. So my body is healing.
Praise the Lord, He is so good. I was afraid that I really hurt myself when I landed full body weight on my ankle when I tripped. But it looks good.
I'll try and get the new x-ray picture up here soon. I have to scan it first. Dr. Bacon asked me to count my screws, there are 8 on the plate and 2 on the other side. That's right 2, I thought there was just one. Anyway, I hope that you guys didn't faint or anything. :)

Whoa! Lookn' good there, Elyse! You're a brave one, y'are. Hope those little suckers didn't hurt too much.
Are you sure that wasn't a prop from Shaun of the Dead?
Curley: Well, their out now. It's done with, I'm glad. :)
Kristy: Hahaha... That's what I thought when I saw my leg 2 weeks ago.
I'm glad your leg is healing.
Wow. Scary stuff. Try nnot to fall anymore. :)
The first thing I said when I that thing most classify as a picture was something like "eeeeeelllllluuuuuu" That's evil to put a picture like THAT on your blog....you've scarred me for life!!!!
It wasn't bad at all. When you said "gross", I thought you meant it was some sort of bloody mass. I don't have a very weak stomach. In fact, I set it as my desktop background to bug Shawn.
Glad those things are out and your color is sooo much better!
You have been so brave and I'm so proud of you.
Kaitie: I have a story.... Some people just step off curbs and break their ankles.
Shawn: I will have scars too. :)
Todd: No sympathy. Wow, my ugly ankle is famous on your compy.... I'm so. Proud, or something.
Mom... I'm glad my color is better too.
Grandma: Not bravery. All I did was bite my lip.
Ashley: DON'T BREAK YOUR ANKLE!!!!
Do I look (like you can even tell what I look like from that picture... XD) like what you thought I would look like?
I have no clue! I don't know if you'll look like Megan or not. Because my cousins don't look very much like my family.
Now I'm a manly sorta guy, and I don't get queasy over much...but that made my stomach flip. Seriously. If you were to look up "seriously and disturbingly gnarly" in the Britannica, you'd see that picture.
Thank you F.C.! Some people *coughtoddcough* have no sympathy. Just be glad my Dad didn't have his camera the first time they took it off. After seeing that I had to lay down so I didn't faint.
