again from the Lightfighter Board - couple days post repair
OK - I tracked him down. I believe it is 3 days post surg now. I have been out of the office so I have not been checking knuckhead here - note the lack of bandage on it - patient says "I know you said keep it covered but I thought I ought to leave it open so it can air out. I also told him to keep off of it and elevated for a few days - Mr opposite thought he ought to be walking around just because. Some people you really have to babysit.
OK - note - healing it looks OK. There is some swelling from patient here walking around on it - but it is no hotter than any other part of either leg - no pain - no redness and no fever so I think he will be OK.
Up and walking around on an uncovered wound that communicates deep to the muscle fascia with no profolactic antibiotics - and no infection - I guess the Miox did something right

Never even got near antibiotics - never mind taking any
Not too bad considering the initial injury and super patient's anti compliance with order
