yes, the cast is gone...and I am now wearing a walking boot...
yesterday I got to see the new look heel and while the whole area is still swollen it looks almost "normal" with a sock on....and it was an arrow he drew on my leg (I'd only been able to see the end of a black stripe!)...
for the next two weeks I have to sleep with the boot on...I can shower (without the boot of course) but not weight bear...I can walk as much as I like and do some gentle stretching of the area...the stitches are dissolvable ones...
my next appointment is in 4 weeks so I will have a better idea then of what I'll be able to do and when...
I have added some photos below - they may be a bit gory to some...I took them as soon as I got home (so before cleaning it up)...
My heel viewed laterally or from the outside...
My heel viewed medially or from the inside...
My heel viewed from the rear...

I think I have a strong stomach Allrounder but those photos are certainly of the more "interesting" variety.
Your right, though, the heel does look normal and the medicos look like they have done a good job. All the best to you for your recovery and I look forward to more progress reports.
Thats great that your on the mend!!
Hope to here of full recovery soon!
