    Re: just broke my foot and sprained my ankle :(

    3 years ago I was trimming trees in the spring ground was soft and I was cutting the top out of a evergreen and the ladder sunk into the ground and I went over side ways.

    Busted my left foot but surgeon put a cast on it and told me to keep it elevated for a few days.
    I was surprised at how fast it healed.
    I broke the same foot twice but first time took 3 months last time 3 weeks so their are big difference in breaks.

    Hope it turns out well for you.

    The transition to the boot (mine came up just below the knee) was a welcomed one for me. Tossing the crutches for the boot and a cane was like freedom! Soon enough this will be a foggy memory.

    Anything that requires casting/booting for several months is a serious issue.

    no cane here.. i did ask .. they said that`s old school and slowed down the healing process

    yeah the bone will be healing for quite a while since it takes the entire weight of the body and the tendons/ ligaments were pretty messed up, so the boot will be needed for stability
