It's been 10 weeks since Carol had her left foot amputated. I must say that we expected to be a lot further along than we are today. That being said, the last week has seen a lot of improvement. Carol went to see Dr. Ertl on Wednesday and as of that morning the left side of the wound had closed up. The left side was the side with the largest opening so it closing up was rather unexpected.

I was traveling all week at a conference and I didn't get to see it happen. Carol wasn't really able to take pictures given the location of the wound. I did take a few pictures yesterday and today. You can see that the left side is closed up nicely and the rest of the wound is also closing. Carol has picked out the foot she wants and it getting ready to go back to work on the 18th.

She was kind of a changed person when I got back from my trip. Since the operation she has been rather stressed and anxious, but when I got home she was once again the smiling and joyful person I fell in love with. Glad to have her back!
