Had my post-op appointment (week + 2 days) from my Minimally Invasive Surgery Bunionectomy.

Had my post-op appointment (week + 2 days) from my Minimally Invasive Surgery Bunionectomy. I was sent home from the hospital with bandages (ace-fabric wrap) and no boot. I have been using a knee scooter to get around. Today, the best thing happened during my post-op!!!! I. Got. To. ITCH. My. Foot. I *suppose* (said sarcastically) seeing my unwrapped foot was pretty cool too Actually, seeing my foot was absolutely awesome! Doc said it looks beautiful and sutures will come out the week after Thanksgiving. I was 'lightly' bandaged back up (considering when they unwrapped my foot the first time it was 3 of the fabric ace-type bandages, an entire roll of cotton wrap and more) and given a boot. I was told I don't have to wear the boot all the time but that I can start wearing it to walk around. Any tips/tricks/suggestions about the boot life and 'learning to walk'? Hurts to go from 'relaxed' foot (how it's bandaged) to 'walking' foot (flat footed/90 degree). **PLEASE NOTE: I had my ingrown toenails removed a week and a half before the surgery (they look beautiful too). My big toe is straight!!! Also, the ankle pain has been REAL.
