^ The bruising after taking the cast off on Christmas Eve.

Not quite as spectacular as a few days after that. Thankfully the swelling reduced as the bruising increased, although the muscle tone has also departed so I've got a skinny, white leg. A very skinny, very white leg.

Had the nicest dream the other night that the cast was off and I was walking like normal, which was delightful. I'm a little worried about the healing process and about whether or not I'll be able to wear heels again soon (or if at all - eek - a prospect that fills me with dread).
