Today I had my two weeks follow up (13 days) from my surgery on the 4th. I finally got the staples out!! I had 18 staples holding my incision together, and they were removed one at a time. Some were more painful than others, but for the most part it just felt like some pressure and then a slight bee sting. Although having 18 bee stings right in a row was not very pleasant, I felt immediate relief of pressure after they were removed.
The orthopedist said that the healing and swelling both looked very good, and a consultation for physical therapy was scheduled.
Here is the first picture I took after the staples were removed
