Day 3 and after pics

PeterJJ
Today is day 3. When I woke up, I felt the pain is less and it's a little easier for me to walk now. I can not still fully stretch my legs but I think I will be able to after I take off the tape. Hope after one or two more days I can start to walk and drive because I still have to go to school. Here are some after pics. As you can see, the shape of my legs are way better than before though they are still wrapped with bondages. I can't wait to Tera them down and see what my new legs look like!

Congrats! Great results so far! I remember this stage!it was hell! I had to constatly walk in cheap looking kitten heels for comfort! Whatever you do, do not think you've fully healed when the bandages come. It takes time for internal tissues to heal. I learned that the hard way but I'm happy now. All the best!

Day 2 and Before pics

PeterJJ
Today when I woke up I feel more pain than yesterday. I texted the doctor and he said it is normal because the drug that lumps my calves is gone today. I didn't take any pain killers cause I think I can still tolerate it. It's just really difficult to walk. Hope after a few day I can walk normally. And I attached the before pics here.

Hi Lucamf, I don't use crutches because I stay on my bed most time unless I need to go to the restroom. It helps when you first stand and stay for a while then start to walk. I was placed one medial prosthesis each leg and I don't use drains. The pain is getting slightly better. My feet are not swollen and the sensation is not that often, just sometimes.
