6 weeks post-op Dr.'s visit

First the bad news: the big toe has drifted valgus (outward) by 14 degrees in the last 5 weeks. If it continues to drift, I will probably need another surgery - this time in my big toe. I get the sense that the chances of that aren't too high, so I'm not too concerned. There's nothing I can do about it anyway, right?

The good news is that when the screw comes out in July, it shouldn't be any kind of setback to the healing process. The doc said that I could be up and running the day after surgery.

The other good news is that I can start weight-bearing on my foot now. I won't be boot-free for another 3 weeks or so, but it's still pretty exciting. I can go for a real bike ride (outside) in 3 weeks. Unfortunately, the racing season will be well underway at that point (the first time trial of the season was on Saturday, 3 days ago). Oh, well.
