Sure hope it heals normally...injuries to my feet and legs tend to heal very slowly because of poor circulation. Oh well, everything happens for a reason!

Oh no! I am so sorry this has happened to you!
My mom had a very similar thing happen at church, breaking her ankle, too.
Her doctor had sent a nursing agency to see her. They sent their PT people. At the same time, they used some device that would "encase" her foot for an hour or so. It supposedly increased the healing in the lower legs, feet. it was quite an interesting unit, which was rented by her insurer.
I wish I could recall the name.
Maybe you know all about this?
It's great to have you posting in this thread!
I hope to see more of you!
