Un-stitched

Today the stitches were removed from my left leg.  I am now stitch free!  The doc said that everything is healing well, and I have the OK to start easing back into training ‘as tolerated’!!! 

The doctor also did a dopplar on the arteries in my feet.  I had a strong pulse in my feet at rest, AND when I was pushed against his hand the pulse was still strong.  (Before the surgeries, I had a pulse at rest, but when I pushed against his hand the pulse was gone).  Nice!
