I've gotten ahold of my orthopedist and gotten an appointment to see him tomorrow. Their office must be packed. I had to stay on hold for 15 mins before I was even able to make an appointment. I've been on my crutches and had left over pain med. So I haven't had to to bad. It's getting some better, I can at least set my foot down on the floor again.

Just got back from the orthopaedist. He said that everything looks good and I've done the right things. Said I am the master of ankle injuries. He laughed at me on how I hurt my ankle. Have to keep off it and wear my brace for at least 3 more weeks.

Side note. Some old man almost killed me as I was going in the office. I was walking down the sidewalk into the office. A car was pulling in a parking spot as I walked past. Next thing I know the old man jumped his car up on the sidewalk right behind me and run over the parking sign on the other side of the sidewalk. Good thing I can still move quick!

Oh Lisa!

I'm so glad you're safe!!!

I have to tell you something funny about me. I tore the ligaments in my foot and lower leg so badly that I had to be casted. One day I decided to wash my hair by getting on my knees and sticking my head under the bathtub spigot.

My cast flew out from under me as I tried to bend down and there was a sickening crunch. I called the Dr. and he xrayed through the cast and told me I was the only patient he had ever had in all his years of practice who hurt herself in the cast. I had badly sprained my ankle, which meant I had to wear the cast longer.

A couple weeks before that, thanks to my jerk ex husband I broke my cast and had to have a new one. I'm absolutely sure my Dr. thinks I'm the weirdest patient he ever treated.

I hope you feel better soon and I hope this gave you a little laugh.

Hugs,

Jan

Rebroke my ankle Oh no! I'm so sorry!

I hope you are feeling a bit better. You must be getting to be quite a pro at using crutches!

I hope that the down time or the slower pace needed for your recovery can also be a relaxing time for you; a time for books, arts, something you've been wanting to do, think about, research, that you haven't felt you've had the time for.

Take good care of you and keep us posted as to how you are doing and how you are feeling!

Decorate your crutches! Customize and personalize them to reflect you!
