9. if you're going to be encrusted for a while longer
I highly reccommend the XeroSox. I couldn't have made it through four ankle surgeries and retained my sanity without it. I hate to sound like a shill, but it is a great product.

first one from the hospital after the first surgery, in So. Cal. :shrug:

17. I'm sure your docs told you what to watch out for in there.
Last surgery, my stitches itched like mad. Then they started to tingle and prick. I didn't think anything of it. Turns out the damned thing was infected. :scared:

Make them take good care of you!
