just broke my foot and sprained my ankle :(

We had to wait for several days for the swelling to subside before surgery. Who knows maybe your fracture will heal properly by the cast/walking boot treatment. One thing for sure, your transit is going to be slower and more deliberate for a while.

:lol2: but Pockets has school on Tues and Thursday and I'm all alone :(
 
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.
 
Geez, I turn my back for a few days & look what happens!!

Steve, I'm so sorry I didn't see this til now, but I sure hope that you're minding your doctor & mending well!!! Have you got the girls trained to fetch & carry for you?

I could ship you a wheelchair if it would help ... but it doesn't have snow tires :passout:

Just read about this today otherwise I would've responded sooner.
Sorry to hear about your mishap. Take it easy broman..:passout:
 
latest update ... foot is healing well ... about 10 more days with crutches and then hobbling with the boot on for a few more months ..so i guess that is good news :confused: :passout:
 
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 :hmmm:

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 :passout:
