Just an update...
...although I am still experiencing pain in the ankle, foot, and shin from whatever damage the muscles, ligaments, and tendons suffered during this ordeal -
the scab finally came off so the actual wound itself is now completely healed!!!!!!!!
I hadn't even noticed that it had come off today. It was definitely there yesterday but when my nurse was here this afternoon (the hot one

) we realized that it was gone. Maybe it came off in bed last night, maybe it came off in the shower this morning, or maybe it fell off at another time. But who cares when it came off, the only thing that matters is that it is finally gone and that the hole I had in my ankle is now completely covered in new skin!!! The skin underneath is still very sensitive, which is totally to be expected as it is so new, but I suspect that it will toughen up soon enough.
A small milestone in a long healing process, but a milestone nonetheless!!!
