I made a post last week about needing a CT scan on my ankle regarding missing bone material. During the appointment, my orthopedic surgeon said not to worry about it, and we will figure out what is happening after the CT scan. I went directly to the imaging clinic to make an appointment, which is currently scheduled for next Tuesday.
Well, the surgeon’s office just called asking about the CT scan. I let them know about the appointment I already made and mentioned that the time can move up my insurance gives approval sooner. The caller then said that my surgeon said we should not wait, and we should get the scan as soon as possible.
Ugh, should I start worrying now? Also, there used to be a large incision from the surgery at the bottom of my foot. It seemed to heal well, but now the spot seems to have caved in a bit. Not sure if that is worrisome as well.

The surgeon’s office called again and now he wants to see me ASAP. I originally had lunch scheduled but I cancelled that so I can go into his office at 11:15 am. Also, it was a blister that formed at the incision point and it popped yesterday. I was wearing a black compression sock all day so it was not visible on the sock. However, I just checked the sock and there is definitely signs that there was fluid and there is a lot of dried residue on the sock.
Ugh. Why is everything so difficult?
