Today I was finally "released" from further hospital visits and cleared as "healed". The wounds themselves are fully-closed and managed to withstand over a month now as such. taken 4 weeks ago (except the first one). The wounds themselves once covered an area 10 cm x 12 cm in size stretching across each of the ankles. The left ankle also had a wound 6 cm x 8 cm in size on the outer side (so yeah, nearly the entire left foot was an open wound). The wounds on my left leg are friction wounds from the bandages and these are the ones that drained and stuck my leg hair to the bandages which, by the time of removal, caused all the hair to be ripped out.
Still have to take it easy on the ankles but my doctor said a day or so every few weeks I should try to extend the activity I can do (try some long walks, etc.) but nothing too strenous as the tissue still has a ways to go before it's fully-healed.
Just thought I'd share an update on my status.
Take care,
Jason
