I went to the doctor yesterday and I got to see what he did. My original scar goes from the top of my leg around to the back of my leg horizontally across the inside of my ankle and has 11 staple marks. The following pictures show what he did in the surgery.
This is the outside. The scar is going to be a couple of inches long. These stitches came out fairly easily.
 This is the inside of my ankle. The incision crosses the other one and was about 3 1/2-4 inches long. I will have a very stylish ankle to show off in those summer flip flops! :-)
 The second set of stitches was more painful due to the nerve damage. However, I survived. Then I got a lovely light blue cast that is already half-covered with beautiful autographs and artwork from my kiddos.

It looks like they're healing quite nicely, though. That's good. Keep taking it as easy as possible (ha!).
