normal?

ok, so most of the throbbing in my ankle has gone away. that part is good, but...

now it feels like the incisions are.. well, burning. and it hurts like.. well, you know. is this normal? dad says it is, that it means the incisions are healing. but i dunno... really? i mean, it feels like my leg is dirty (can't wash under the cast, gross!) so i'm worried it might be an infection. but i'm not sure. maybe i'm just being a little hypochondriac .. but i just want to be sure! plus the cast seems to be bigger (probably because my ankle/leg isn't swollen anymore) .. so, yeah.

guess i'll be calling the doctor's office on monday! well, that is if our benefits are reinstated. which they should have been by 5 pm today, but weren't. grr.

have i mentioned lately how much i despise insurance companies?
