Update

Richard saw both his hand Dr. and his foot/ankle Dr. His hand Dr. chewed him out a bit and told him he shouldn't work for another month...and then he ended his visit by tugging on Richard's beard, ruffling his hair, and telling him to have a nice day. LOL!!! I about died laughing when I heard that.

So, Richard has another 4 weeks off from work. At least the HR people at his work were understanding and gave him the time off without any problems.

Richard's foot/ankle Dr. gave him a good report. He said we're bandaging up the ankle and his leg properly and we should continue doing what we're doing. It's just going to take a long time to heal. There's a good scab where the vein burst, and we just need to be careful that we don't accidentally pull it off prematurely when we're changing the bandages. I looks like we're going to have a daily routine now of dealing with Richard's feet.
